{"product_id":"peso-in-my-pocket","title":"Peso in My Pocket","description":"Toby Keith never stopped working in the 2010s, but by the end of the decade, he seemed kind of adrift, lost in one too many songs about alcohol and taking a full six years to deliver a sequel to his 2015 album 35 MPH Town. The time away evidently recharged the singer if Peso in My Pocket is any indication. Lively, funny, and brawny in a way he hasn't been since his hot streak in the 2000s, Peso in My Pocket is filled with songs so lean that it takes a moment to realize that Keith covers a lot of musical ground here. \"Oklahoma Breakdown\" opens the record with a bit of nostalgic swagger, providing a keynote for an album where he comes to terms with middle age but still plays with the vigor of a younger man. He spends much of the album looking back upon the \"Days I Shoulda Died,\" concludes that \"Growing Up Is a Bitch,\" and decides that he likes the \"Old Me Better.\" Within those three songs, Keith plays a gussied-up cowboy ballad, dabbles with wanderlust in the vein of Bruce Springsteen, and swings through a jaunty blues, each different style sounding natural in his hands. Keith even tackles breezy, electronic-inflected pop on the breezy \"Old School,\" a move that doesn't seem like pandering as its romanticization of the small town suits the album's nostalgia. If he pushes this backwards-looking button a bit too hard with the concluding \"Happy Birthday America\" -- an exercise in both-sides patriotism that lands with a thud -- such joyous moments as the two-stepping rocker \"Thunderbird\" make up for such missteps and help turn Peso in My Pocket into Toby Keith's best record in years. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41900827902117,"sku":"793888436404","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/dd352db008ec38bf19f5172aabf625af.jpg?v=1777598930","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/products\/peso-in-my-pocket","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
