Toby Keith
Toby Keith Covel werd geboren op 8 juli 1961 in Clinton, Oklahoma. Het gezin dat naast Toby en zijn ouders uit nog een zoon Tracy en een dochter Tracy bestond, verhuisde naar Smith, Arkansas en daarna naar Moore, Oklahoma. In de tijd dat Toby in Arkansas woonde, ging hij vaak langs bij zijn oma die een eettent runde alwaar hij ook in aanraking kwam met muziek door de bands die er speelden en hij ook gitaar leerde spelen. Het eerste baantje van Toby was op de olievelden en in die tijd, hij was toen twintig, vormde hij een band met wat vrienden.

In de begin jaren negentig probeerde Toby, die inmiddels semi professioneel football speler was, via een demo waarmee hij in Nashville langs de platenmaatschappijen ging, verder te komen in de muziek. Dat was echter geen succes. Toen een fan van de band van Toby een demo aan een directeur gaf van Mercury Records was het wel raak. Toby kreeg een contract en mocht zijn eerste album Toby Keith opnemen dat in april 1993 uitkwam:
