“My parents didn’t just want to hand me everything. They taught me to work for it and work hard,” explains Keith. “So, I started singing in competitions when I was 13 years old. I always knew I was going to be a singer, but my dad taught me that experience is what would get me there, and this was a great experience. I learned a lot. I then started singing at the Oklahoma Opry, now the Rodeo Opry, every three weeks or so to really hone my craft.”

Keith would belt out her favorite female country songs, such as Patsy Cline’s “Crazy” and “Walkin’ After Midnight,” Reba McEntire’s “Little Rock,” Martina McBride’s “Broken Wing,” and others, week after week to flex that natural vibrato she has and learn how to perform for a crowd. “It was the best education ever,” she says. “I also started writing at a young age because I always knew the value of not just being able to sing, but to write as well and I love both equally. I wrote my first poem-song around age 9 for my parents, and wrote my first full song, ‘Just Between You and Me’ when I was 15 and recorded it when I was 17.”

Though teen stars are a dime a dozen these days, Keith’s parents still wouldn’t open those velvet ropes for her into the country world where her dad – superstar Toby Keith –is so successful. Instead, she had to finish college before she could be given the green light to move forward with her singing career… and get just a little bit more experience under her belt. She soon started getting booked to sing the national anthem at Oklahoma University games as well as odd signing jobs, and often headlining, at country fairs and local conferences. She finally got a little leg up from dear old dad when he’d have her sing the national anthem on some of his tours and recorded the song “Mockingbird” together, which the two performed on the Country Music Awards in 2004 when she was just 19 as her coming out party to the country music world.

“We used to sing ‘Mockingbird’ together when I was growing up so it was really special to get to perform it at the CMAs. It was like a teaser to remind me that this is where I can be if I just finish college, so that’s what I did,” explains Keith, who has a Bachelor Degree in Communications from Oklahoma University and even spent some time in the working world before putting a band together to start the process of writing and picking songs for her debut CD.

“I’m pretty much a hard-core country girl,” she says. “I grew up on Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings – the greats. My music is country but a little bluesier and I have some rock in me, some Janis Joplin, who I really love. I’m very ladylike but with some rough edges. I say what’s on my mind and don’t always have a filter.”

Most recently, Total Wine stores in Arizona, California, Nevada, New Jersey and South Carolina have begun carrying Wild Shot, as well as the company’s outlets in Tampa, Fla. and Claymont, Del. Toby will host a bottle signing in York, PA on Sept. 14 at the local Wine & Spirits store from 3:00 to 4:30pm.
In other Toby news, he was featured in a 20/20 special Sunday on ABC. He was interviewed by Bob Woodruff for the show’s special edition “Remembrance and Renewal: 10 Years After the 9/11 Attacks.”

On the music front, Toby just revealed details for the upcoming Deluxe Edition release of Clancy’s Tavern, out globally Oct. 24. In addition to four new “Incognito Bandito” tracks recorded at his lauded 2010 club date in New York City, the album also features “Made In America.” Keith’s fastest-rising song in years has exploded to the top and is on its way to topping all the major singles charts. Of course, that kind of No. 1 surely feels very familiar.
His North American Ford F-Series sponsored Locked & Loaded tour continues to play standing-room-only venues, and will travel to Europe in late October in support of the new album.

The website ranked Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill in Oklahoma City as No. 22 best celebrity-owned restaurant, which puts Toby in the company of such celebrities as Justin Timberlake, who had his two New York restaurants rank in the Top 25 (Southern Hospitality at No. 23 and Destino at No. 21), Michael Jordan, whose onesixtyblue restaurant in Chicago ranked No. 2, and Tony Hawk, whose Market Restaurant and Bar in Del Mar, Calif., ranked No. 1 on the list.
