Toby Keith's 14th studio album That Don't Make Me a Bad Guy maintains a purity of country form many of his pop- leaning peers lack, an abundance of steel guitar and lonesome vocal twang anchoring lyrics awash in mysterious women, lost love, and personal failings he doesn't always apologize for. And when the two halves of his persona — aggressive troop supporter and sensitive balladeer — come together on the smoky-nightclub soldier's blues of ''Missing Me Some You,'' he triumphs in bringing a tear to the American patriot's eye...with none of his former Shock'n Y'all boot-in-ass attitude.

Keith's wheelhouse is the sturdy, roughneck fare that oozes from the title track, a chugging array of flowing fiddle and steel-guitar twang that simmers with classically styled country beneath his bark. Always one to hedge his bets with trips to the sensitive side, he adds substantial focus on how he sings, taking an atypically subtle angle on "Hurt a Lot Worse When You Go" and the organ-laced soul package of the mellow "Missing Me Some You....full text
