Keith special coming Wednesday; two remasterd disc coming in October
Toby Keith: American Icon airs from 9 -11 p.m. eastern/[pacific this Wednesday on NBC and is available the next day on Peacock.
Five weeks later – Oct. 4 – the newly compiled "13 Number Ones" and remastered and expanded "Christmas to Christmas" will be available – the former on CD and vinyl, and the latter on CD, digital providers and vinyl, for the first time.
This Wednesday, the star-studded Toby Keith: An American Icon features Luke Bryan, Tyler Hubbard, Jelly Roll, Parker McCollum, Darius Rucker, Carrie Underwood, Lainey Wilson and others performing Keith's hits before a sold-out crowd at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena.
Performances and guest appearances also include Trace Adkins, Priscilla Block, Eric Church, Jordan Davis, Scotty Emerick, Brett Favre, Brantley Gilbert, Riley Green, HARDY, Jamey Johnson, Ella Langley, Leanne Morgan, Mac McAnally, Ashley McBryde and Clay Walker.
"13 Number Ones" is a new hits collection focused on some of his most hit songs released between 1993 and 2005. All were concert setlist staples, and almost all were performed during the Toby Keith: American Icon celebration.
Also out Oct. 4 is Keith's first holiday album, "Christmas to Christmas." The album was originally released in 1995 and is now remastered for all formats including, for the first time, vinyl, specifically transparent green vinyl. Keith has writer credits on four songs, among them the solo-penned "Hot Rod Sleigh." The vinyl version includes the bonus track of Roger Miller's "Old Toy Trains," recorded by Keith in 2000 and previously available only on a long out-of-print compilation.
