Parts of this article were taken from an article I wrote years ago. I just revamped it and made it a little more interesting than when it was on the other site. Enjoy.
Toby Keith, what more can a person say? He’s been treating
fans to new music since 1993 and shows no signs of slowing down. He’s taken on
the big dogs of Nashville and mopped up the floor with them. Now he’s known as
the Big Dog Daddy with his own record label, more than twenty albums and several
side businesses to boot. And it all started because he visited his grandmother
in the summer. What makes him the sexiest man in country music? Too many things
to count, but let’s give it a shot anyway.
Toby making his fans part of his videos is becoming a common occurrence.
Music- Toby loves creating music and his performances
show it. Fans are rarely disappointed by the lengths Keith will go to in order
to show his appreciation for his fan base. That’s a super-plus in a time and
place where too many artists take their fans for granted. If you want a great
fan experience, then Toby Keith is the man to look for.
Nice guns! Can't find the photo of him fishing, so you just have to take my word for it that he has some might strong legs.
He’s kind of cute- He stands at 6’4” in height, has great
calves, hard arms and an ornery grin that tells you trouble just walked in the
room. To be quite honest, it’s hard to tell if he is a tough guy or a great big
teddy bear, so the best guess is that he is mixed with both, depending on the
circumstances. Just don’t pour beer on his equipment and don’t mess with his
family.
You absolutely must blame it on the worm.
Strong sense of business- TK has a strong sense of
business and has been very successful in starting a chain of restaurants called
the Toby Keith I Love This Bar and Grill and his own brand of mezcal called
Wild Shot. He started his own label in 2005, Show Dog Universal, after he
butted heads with other labels. He wanted a place where he could make his music
without interference from those who thought they knew it all. And did I mention
he also owns a golf club where he and his wife frequently play the game?

Proof that Toby can poke fun at anything. Can't beat 'em? Join 'em.
Sense of community- Toby is a big fan of his hometown in
Norman, Oklahoma. He resides close-by, forgoing a move to Nashville. Moving to
Nashville might save on travel considering his line of work, but Keith likes
being an Okie and he prefers to keep his feet firmly planted in the soil there.
He is right there with help for those in the community when they are in
trouble. When a tornado blows through, Toby and his family members are among
the first to go out and about to see what they can do to help.
Bonnie Hunt interview. That's what a happy man looks like.
How does a man always look that daggone happy?- Other
than album covers meant to make him look tough, Toby Keith always looks happy
and satisfied with his life. No doubt that he is because he figured out how to
make things happen his way and he’s got a great family to share it all with.

Charity- Toby Keith and his wife Tricia have a foundation
that helps children, more specifically, children with cancer. The charity makes
donations to other charities such as the St. Jude’s Hospital and the Make a
Wish Foundation. On top of that, the foundation is now concentrating on the OKKids Korral that offers a safe and convenient haven for families and children
who are dealing with childhood cancer.

Family love- One of the sexiest things about Toby is that
he loves his family more than life itself. From his mother and father to his
wife and kids, Toby has a deep commitment to his family ties. He has a
beautiful wife who he adores, Tricia. His three children, Shelley, Krystal and
Stelen and two grandchildren (that number may have risen?), take priority over
anything else, including his music. His middle child, Krystal, has followed in
his footsteps and is fast becoming one of country music’s greatest female
artists.
Toby loves bringing attention to the soldiers and frequently brings them up on stage to sing with him.
The Angry American was written after the 9/11 attacks and drew a great deal of controversy. Toby says F' 'em. :-)
Love of country- There isn’t another artist alive that
does more to show his love for the United States than Toby Keith. He has been a
constant presence in the USO tours for more than a decade. He focuses a great
deal of his lyrics on the troops and their commitment to keeping the United
States safe, including songs like American Soldier, Courtesy of the Red, White
and Blue, Ballad of Balad and Call a Marine.
Kids- He loves ‘em. Nuff said.
1. Jesus- Toby might be caught with a red solo cup
in his hand at every concert and he might have a few choice words to share
every now and again, but Toby Keith loves Jesus. He says a thank you to Jesus
on his albums and makes no bones about the fact that he’s a praying man. Jesus
keeps him grounded in a business that might otherwise eat him alive.
Toby Keith has a rare combination of traits that make him
the sexiest man in country music. He’s serious enough about business to make
things happen without taking himself or the things around him too seriously and
that shows through his lyrics which are often self-deprecating and hilarious.
He’s the kind of man that millions of women wish they had, but can’t. Tricia
has his heart hands down.
Pretty sure this is Tricia's song. You are not the woman behind the man, you are the reason I'm who I am
