TOBY KEITH BACK ON TOP WITH "DON'T LET THE OLD MAN IN"

Audio By Carbonatix

Toby Keith's last Top Ten hit was "Beers Ago" eleven years ago. After that, his presence on the country charts and country radio has lessened considerably. But perhaps this is a lesson for fans, to never count the Big Dog Daddy out.

Toby has been quite public with his recent health issues, battling stomach cancer for the last few years. So when Toby was honored with the Country Icon award at last month's People's Choice Country Awards, it was encouraging to see him take the stage to perform, and when he did, he played a relatively unknown song that has taken on a whole new meaning for the singer and his fans.

"Don't Let The Old Man In," a reflection on someone facing the last years of their life, was especially poignant considering the circumstances. With many in the crowd on hand and at home watching in tears, the song landed hard - and continues to have an impact. Surprisingly, the performance led to the song's resurgence, and this past week ending up at the #1 spot on the Country Digital Song Sales chart. So congratulations and best wishes for a continued recovery to country treasure Toby Keith.
