歌手介绍

获得了和Mercury唱片公司签约的机会,此时的Toby Keith早已过了而立之年。

发展历程

1993年,已经32岁的Toby Keith正式发行了他的第一张个人专辑《Toby Keith》,当时还是一头长发的Toby Keith在这张十首歌32分钟的并不算长的专辑中第一次引起了乡村音乐界的重视,其中的排行榜冠军单曲《Should've Been a Cowboy》成为了Toby Keith第一次重大的突破,其他高排名单曲的衬托之下,这张专辑的销量很快突破了两百万张,成为双白金唱片。他的第二张专辑《Boomtown》在1995年初发行,但是这张专辑却没有取得《Toby Keith》的辉煌,尽管其中的多首单曲依然有着不错的播放和点播排名,可是专辑最终却只取得了超过50万张的金唱片销量,而为Universal公司录制的圣诞假期专辑《Christmas to Christmas》同样作为不大。1996年,第三张正式专辑《Blue Moon》使Toby Keith的音乐重新有了起色,在冠军单曲《Me Too》的带领下,这张专辑的销量也超过了一百万张,但是长时间的不瘟不火并不能让Toby Keith高兴。1997年,Toby Keith开始与另一位知名的音乐制作人JamesStroud展开合作。同年发行的专辑《Dream Walkin'》取得了不错的销量,多首单曲也表现突出,其中Toby Keith和大名鼎鼎的英国巨星Sting合作的《I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying》尤其令人印象深刻。1998年又推出首张个人精选辑《Greatest Hits 1》。但是不久之后,Toby Keith由于和Mercury唱片公司的一些分歧,而在1999年的时候在James Stroud的带领下跳槽到了DreamWorks唱片公司。同年年末,Toby Keith的第五张个人专辑,也是在新东家的首张专辑《How Do You Like Me Now?!》正式发行,而这张专辑也表现抢眼,不仅销量甚好,以及诞生多首冠军单曲,而且还为Toby Keith赢得了更大范围的好评,Toby Keith开始成了乡村大牌歌手了。而在之后的行业权威奖项评选中,乡村音乐学院奖评选Toby Keith为年度最佳男歌手(Male Vocalist of the Year),专辑《How Do You Like Me Now?!》也被评选为年度最佳专辑(Album of the Year)。2001年发行的第六张专辑《Pull My Chain》再接再厉,成为了Toby Keith第一张进入Billboard 200排行榜前十名的专辑。

在2001年9月11日美国遭受恐怖袭击之后,Toby Keith迅速做出了非常强烈的反应,这一切都表现在了他在2002年录制的单曲《Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)》之中,愤怒的声音,强烈的节奏,吸引了美国无数的爱国人士的关注,而这首单曲所反映出的通过武力打击恐怖分子的战争论调也引起了非常广泛的争议,甚至遭到了一些主流媒体的批评。虽然引起了争议,但是Toby Keith在2002年8月份发行的第七张专辑《Unleashed》销售火热,不仅成为乡村专辑榜的冠军,而且还成为了Toby Keith第一张Billboard 200排行榜的冠军专辑,专辑销量迄今已超过330万张。2003年11月4日,Toby Keith的第八张个人专辑《Shock N Y'all》正式发行,再次取得成功,首周即以58万5千张的高销量名列Billboard 200排行榜冠军,销量突破四白金,并且获得了多项乡村音乐大奖。Toby Keith的第九张正式个人专辑《Honkytonk University》在2005年5月17日成功推出。

Early life

Toby Keith was born in Clinton, Oklahoma, the son of Carolyn Joan (néeRoss) and Hubert K. Covel Jr. He has a sister, Tonni, and a brother, Tracy. The family lived in Fort Smith, Arkansas, for a few years when Toby was in grade school, but moved to Moore, Oklahoma(a suburb of Oklahoma City) when he was still young. Before the family moved to Moore, he visited his grandmother in Fort Smith during the summers. His grandmother owned Billie Garner's Supper Club in Fort Smith, where Keith became interested in the musicians who came there to play. He did odd jobs around the supper club and started getting up on the bandstand to play with the band. He got his first guitar at the age of eight. After the family moved to Moore, Oklahoma, Keith attended Highland West Junior High and Moore High School, where he played defensive endon a footballteam.

Keith graduated from Moore High School and worked as a derrickhand in the oil fields. He worked his way up to become an operation manager. At the age of 20, he and his friends Scott Webb, Keith Cory and Danny Smith, with a few others, formed the band Easy Money, which played at local bars as he continued to work in the oil industry. At times, he would have to leave in the middle of a concert if he was paged to work in the oil field.

In 1982, the oil industry in Oklahoma began a rapid decline and Keith soon found himself unemployed. He fell back on his football training and played defensive end with the semi-pro Oklahoma City Drillers while continuing to perform with his band. (The Drillers were an unofficial farm clubof the United States Football League's Oklahoma Outlaws; Keith tried out for the Outlaws but did not make the team.) He then returned to focus once again on music. His family and friends were doubtful he would succeed, but in 1984, Easy Money began playing the honky tonkcircuit in Oklahoma and Texas. The band cut a single titled "Blue Moon", which received some airplay on local radio stations in Oklahoma.
