Toby Keith Facts: Let’s Share Some That You Might Not Know
They Said Toby Keith Should Get a Real Job
When Toby Keith married Tricia Covel in 1984, there were many doubters. Many thought the singer needed to get a steady job instead of chasing his wild country music dream. However, she believed in him, and within a decade, it would pay off.
Toby Keith Was a Pro Football Player
Before pursuing country music, while working in the oil fields, Toby Keith played football for a semi-pro team called the Oklahoma Drillers. That picture is from way back, but we hear he was pretty good.
Toby Keith Started Out at a Hot Dog Stand
We’ll admit the source for this next Toby Keith fact is weak, but the story goes that one of the first places he played when he moved to Nashville was a Music Row hot dog stand called Hounddogs. It’s near the Musica statue today and is confirmed as a starting point for some stars.
Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, and Tracy Lawrence all did some busking at Hounddogs before getting signed to record labels. Was Toby the “Hot Dog Man” before becoming the “Big Dog Daddy”?
Toby Keith’s Band is the Easy Money Band
Toby Keith named his band the Easy Money Band after scoring a wedding gig years ago. He was paid a check for $1,000 and said it was “easy money.” The name stuck.
He Has the Most Played Country Song of the 1990s
Toby Keith’s debut single “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” is the most played country song of the 1990s. It was a No. 1 hit and has been certified triple platinum.
Toby Keith Records Very Few Duets
We can count five collaborations across Toby Keith’s 19 studio albums. They are:
“I’m So Happy, I Can’t Stop Crying” with Sting
“Beer for My Horses” with Willie Nelson
“Mockingbird” with Krystal Keith
“She Ain’t Hooked on Me No More” with Merle Haggard
“Sail Away” with Jimmy Buffett
He has collaborated with other artists on their projects (most recently with Brantley Gilbert on “Worst Country Song Ever”), but for the most part, he remains a solo artist. Other than his daughter, he has never recorded a song featuring female vocals on one of his own records.
Toby Keith and Willie Nelson Played the Super Bowl
No, the two “Beer for My Horses” singers didn’t perform at halftime, but in 2004, Willie Nelson and Toby Keith were trusted to deliver a pre-game concert in Houston.
The New England Patriots would go on to beat the Carolina Panthers that year, but the day might be best remembered for Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake’s wardrobe malfunction.
Toby Keith is a Successful Actor
No one can claim Toby Keith has been robbed of an Oscar, but he has established a short film resume, including 2008’s Beer for My Horses, based on his song of the same name.
Before that, he starred in Broken Bridges with Kelly Preston. Each has a considerably deeper filmography.
