While it may be winging it a little to call this a flashback, but it’s a little hard to believe that 2006 is slowly becoming more retro as we quickly head into the 2010’s.
Back in mid-2006 Toby had a hit with “A Little Too Late” off his White Trash with Money album. The song is about a man addressing his former girlfriend that the couple is through. While the plot has been donemany times before, Toby offers another good piece of music that reminisces on his great 90’s and early 2000’s work. It’s hard to think that he can have a great song like this and then go on to make something as outrageous as his recent single “American Ride”! But I guess you just have to take the good with the bad.
“A Little Too Late” went on to reach #2 in August 2006. The music video is also another treat, the plot is a little grim, that is until the ending offers a pretty good plot twist.

I always did like this song, and totally agree that Toby Keith’s music has lost all the magic and quality it had in the 90s.
Comment by J.R. Journey September 13, 2009 @ 10:47 amYeah, it’s really too bad that his music took such a decline in quality during the past couple of years. This past year he seemed like he was on track to getting back to better quality music like his 90’s work; but his recent single shows that he probably isn’t going to be there anytime soon.
