White Trash With Money - Toby Keith
When Toby Keith’s “White Trash With Money” is good, it’s very good. And when it’s not so good, it’s still OK. The exquisitely produced “It’s a Little Too Late” is among the best-sounding tracks Keith has ever laid down, and the swampy “Can’t Buy You Money” practically oozes out of the speakers. Producer Lari White gets sound for days out of horns and guitars on “Grain of Salt,” and the trademark Keith charisma brightly shines on the driving “I Ain’t Already There.” Elsewhere, “Crash Here Tonight” is a killer ballad, and “Hell No” is a hard-edged classic. On the other hand, the single “Get Drunk and Be Somebody” is a retread, if a good one, and “Ain’t No Right Way” is too preachy. Which leads to the twangy “Runnin’ Block.” It’s funny and well played, but it’s also unnecessarily hurtful and wrongheaded. –Billboard
