For a meat 'n' potatoes country singer like Toby Keith, he does a pretty good job of showing a sensitive side, though his ballad baritone goes slightly shaky when left out too long. Even so, with a basic mixture of beery braggadocio and tender sentiment Keith (who cowrites most of his material) seems to have hit his stride and has found a formula that commercial country has finally embraced. On this follow-up to his 1999 How Do You Like Me Now, production values remain slick, considering how much testosterone is involved, but there's still room for this Oklahoma boy to strut while a handful of heavy metal arpeggios punctuate the proceedings. ~ Henry Cabot Beck
Toby Keith's output at Mercury Records (1993 - 1998) brought him steady - if unspectacular - success. Keith finally broke through to country's elite level with his 1999 award-winning Dreamworks' debut How Do You Like Me Now? It's follow-up, Pull My Chain, looks to continue that momentum. The CD gets off to a strong start with a double dose of Keith's sharp wit. "I'm Just Talking About Tonight" tackles commitment-phobia in a light-hearted manner, while "I Wanna Talk About Me" is a rip roaring rapper think "Getcha Some" on caffeine about a guy tired of hearing his self-absorbed woman's raving. Keith settles down quite a bit thereafter, with some nice ballads detailing love in various stages: lost "I Can't Take You Anywhere", devoted "You Leave Me Weak" , and struggling "Tryin' To Matter". Best of the lot is "The List," a gentle rumination about finding time for the important things in life. The ability to effectively blend sass and substance keeps Keith a couple of step ahead of the cookie-cut pack. How do I like you NOW? Just fine, Toby. Keep up the good work. ~ James E. Bagley
