Cameo Critic: Toby Keith

Last update: September 5, 2008 - 6:15 PM

Toby Keith's first country hit was "Should've Been a Cowboy" in 1993. The Oklahoman, who performed Monday at the Minnesota State Fair and stars in the Southern comedy movie "Beer for My Horses," still has a taste for the old West, as evidenced by his favorite DVD of the moment, "Deadwood," the HBO TV series.

I like to see people branch out and put their nuts on the table, you know what I mean."
