Bullets In the Gun (Deluxe Edition) – Toby KeithView More By Toby Keith Our ReviewThis time out, Keith downplays overt politics in favor of tear-stained balladry, down-home celebrations and heartland romance. He approaches his songs with a filmmaker’s flair and an actor’s bravado — tracks like the trucker’s anthem “Drive It On Home,” the barroom lament “Somewhere Else” and the Western-themed title tune are classic narratives with a modern twist. Keith isn’t above dishing out tongue-in-cheek sexism (“Get Out of My Car”) or rhyming “convertible” with “flirtable” (in “Think About You All of the Time”). He gets all the details right in “Trailerhood,” a pungent slice of Southern life set to an easy-going groove. Amidst the twanging rockers and simmering mid-tempo tracks are tender young-love tunes (“Kissin’ In the Rain”) and yearning heartbreak numbers (“In a Couple of Days”). The album’s Deluxe Edition adds four live cuts, including surprising renditions of Roger Miller’s bopping “Chug-a-Lug” and Gordon Lightfoot’s brooding “Sundown.” Bullets In the Gun is prime Keith, swaggering, sly and tuneful to its core.. Customer ReviewsBullets in the Gun (1 star)First let me say that I am a huge fan of Toby Keith.I have every album he's ever done. But I will not be buying this album. The song "Get Out of My Car is rude, crude and way beneath the Toby Keith I normally listen to and buy. Toby needs to go back to his first album and listen to "Mama Come Quick" and wonder how someone who performed that song could record a low class tune like "Get Out of MY Car". Mama would come Sigh (2 stars) This release is a continuation of the fall of Mr. Toby Keith. At one point, Toby was my favorite male country artist but I've been bored with his latest releases. The only goods songs on this release are 'Somewhere Else' and 'Bullets in the Gun'. The rest is easily forgettable. Next time Toby, take MORE time planning an album because the 'album release every year' stuff is getting old, and it shows. great album (5 stars) I love this album, the songs are back to country roots!! There isn't a song on the album I don't like, it's time for country music to make a comeback and no one better than Toby to do it!! I would recommend this album to anyone who likes country music, and if you don't like country, try it anyway. BiographyBorn: July 08, 1961 in Clinton, OKGenre: Country Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s Toby Keith spent the '90s as a solid, workmanlike country star who met with considerable chart success, yet never quite broke free of the neo-traditionalist pack to become a household name like Garth Brooks or Alan Jackson. That all changed in 2002 when he recorded "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)," a response to September 11 that became one of country's most highly charged political statements since Merle Haggard's "Okie from Muskogee." The media furor ensured that even...
