University of Oklahoma honors Keith with degree
Last year, Toby Keith learned that OU would be presenting him the honor. Keith sent his children to the university for their education.
At this weekend's OU commencement events, his daughter, Krystal Keith, will accept the honorary degree and share her recollections of her father's love and loyalty to the OU.
Krystal Keith said, "he loved OU. His passion started as far back as when he was 12 and 13 years old and worked in the stadium selling Cokes just so he could see the games. For as long as I can remember, he took us to every bowl game no matter what his work schedule was. And he was on the sidelines of nearly all the different OU sporting events. He bled Crimson and Cream."
Keith will be honored at a ceremony set for 9 a.m. Saturday at Lloyd Noble Center.

The album leads off with It leads off with the catchy regional favorite "Oklahoma Breakdown," it is followed by an ode to better times on "Old School. ...
People of a certain age can recall a time in America when a polyester-clad party host would reward late-night diehards with a "blue" record. These vinyl gems (or bootleg tapes) would be funny and frank, both in their language and adult subject matter. They paired well with alcohol, and just owning them could make someone a little cooler by association. Such a concept might mystify millennials who can punch up any song they imagine. But Toby Keith remembers.

Way back in the '90's, before millions of dollars, high profile political feuds and moguldom, Toby Keith could really sing and write a pretty good song! News flash! He still can on his nostalgic, 18th album.
You can hear an unexpected Merle Haggard influence all over this record. The title cut, "35 MPH" evokes a Haggard vibe. Think "Roots Of My Raising - 2015" as Keith laments the loss of the commonplace, now gone forever. What could've easily been an appeal ...
