84.a CI TMARTIST PROFILETOBY KEITHJacqueline P FrankKIK-FM Staff WriterO.K.O.K. it's my turn! What do you get when youplay a country western song backwards? I know thatsan old one and country music has changed a lot sincethe days when your dog died and your tractor brokedown and your wife left you and took the kids. Nonethe less that was Toby Keith's original inspiration for his#1 song 'Who's that man?'. That song started out as alighthearted look at the old country joke until he landedon the line who's that man running my life?'. Suddenlyit changed his whole outlook on the song. Keith says,"though I haven't had to live through that, I couldn'timagine someone else raising my children and that'sthe way I looked at it and that's the way I wrote it.People who are hearing it say it is definitely the type ofsong that's not out there now. This is a song that womenare listening to, but the men are hearing?'But this is not the first time the fans have listened toToby Keith. With his first single 'Should've Been a Cowboy' Keith broke all records on his way to the top. Notsince 'Achy Breaky Heart' has a record made it to number one so fast. Keith wrote 8 of the 10 songs on hisgold self -titled debut album which launched two #1singles and two top 5 hits, as well a Keith being namedNew Country Artist of 1993 by Billboard magazine.But let's go back for a moment. Toby Keith grew up on hisparents farm in Oklahoma and currently resides just outsideof Oklahoma City with his wife and two daughters. As a childKeith found himself intrigued by the musicians who played inthe Oklahoma supper club his grandmother owned. But hehad little time for music with his part-time and summer workwith the rodeo company and his pursuit of football, which gothim as far as playing semi -pro ball for two years as part of thenow defunct U.S.F.L.However music did remain a steady companion in Keith'slife. He recalls his father was a big Bob Wills fan, while hismusical hero was and continues to be Merle Haggard. "As faras influences go, I doubt anyone's had more impact on methan Haggard" Keith says. "He's not only one of the greatestcountry singers there's ever been, but he's a great writer." Asis Keith.Keith has written or co -written 7 of the IO songs on hissophomore effort 'Boomtown'. "I had my whole life to writethe first album and only a year to come up with the secondone " Keith says. But with his second album Keith's writing6TOBY KEITHremains powerful and insightful. Again teaming up with producers Nelson Larkin and Harold Shedd, Boomtown has hitthe air waves with as much bang as his first album. From 'Big01' Truck', about a'little bitty girl with a monster truck', to'Victoria's Secret' (ooh la,la), No Honor Among Thieves' withits western feel, the title track 'Boomtown', and his secondrelease 'Upstairs, Downtown' which he calls his "first traditional country," this second album is sure to contribute greatlyto Keith's steady rise. Not only as an outstanding songwriterbut as a performer as well.As things continue to go well for Keith, we doubt anyonewill be asking "Who's that Man?". Though they may want toknow "what do you get when you play and old Country Western song backwards?" Why you get your house back, yourwife back, your dog back and your tractor fixed.of course!CONT. on page 22Q & A with Toby Keith.1-000484.8111cMs,HOT COUNTRY NEWS DECEMBER 1994

80T O1TIT 11W!ARTIST PROFILECLAY WALKERBy Carrie DunneHe's a bundle of country energy wrapped up in snug jeans,a black hat, and a grin. When Clay stopped by KIK-FM thefirst time, he wanted to be DJ for the day. I just stood backand laughed as he jumped in and took over the controls,pushed all the buttons and talked to the listeners. The nexttime he came to KIK, Clay took Craig Powers and they wentrunning around Orange County checking out the town andcausing a little"double trouble".James Stroud heard Clay sing and offered him a recordingcontract on the spot. The two went to work and produced adebut album that has reached platinum status (selling over Imillion copies). Clay wrote 5 of the IO tunes on his firstalbum, and 4 on his second If I Could Make A Living. "My goalis to reach out to people through my music:' he says. "I writeby drawing from all of the influences around me so that I cancreate well-rounded and meaningful songs."As for influences, Clay not only loves the music of Haggard and Jones, but lists James Taylor, Bob Seger, and LionelRichie as having a strong ef-fect on his music. "I had alot of influences from different sides and I think that'swhat makes me the artist Iam today. I'm a countrysinger.you can't beat thecountry out of my voice, butwhen I write songs, I like toHere at KIK we've been withClay since the beginning.Clay's first song"What's ItToYou" which hit your radio inAugust of 93' and shot to the number one spot on both of the national country charts (Billboard& R&R). Named 1993's TopNew Artist by R&R, Clay waslisten to stuff like Boston andJourney to get ideas from andthe biggest selling newcomer inBillboard and was nominated forBest New Male Vocalist by boththe Academy of Country MusicAwards, and the American Music Awards.Many would consider Clay aninstant success. But Clay saysto have something neat towrite about."The 25 -year -old singer/songwriter grew up the old-est of five (3 sisters and ayounger brother). His dadwas a welder by day, parttime musician by night. Heit was not overnight, but oversix years. At nineteen, he hitshared his musical talent withhis son, teaching him to playthe road playing in clubs all overTexas, Oklahoma, Arkansas,Louisiana, and as far away asthe guitar at age 9. "I had toAlberta, Canada. Then heknew that I was one of thosekids that really was persistentabout everything and alwayshave been all my life:'Clay moved to Nashville, where he now lives with his wife,Lori, a 25 -year -old former rodeo queen. Do all the screaming females bother her? No, not a bit. In fact, Clay says thatLori would let them all backstage to meet him, if she could."I love meeting folks:' Clay says. "That's what keeps megoing on the road is meeting different people. Whenever youbeg him," Clay says. "Heregulargig atBeaumont's Neon Armadillo af-scoredater a certain fellow, MarkChesnutt left to pursue a record deal.Beaumont, Texas seems to be a good town for countrysingers. George Jones, Mark Chesnutt, and Tracy Byrd cameout of Beaumont. Clay knew Mark and Tracy, "Mark and Iplayed a lot of the same clubs and were buddies. If I wasplaying somewhere close in Beaumont, which nothing's toofar away from anything, we would get together and hang outafterwards and BS a little bit." Clay says,"I went to schoolwith Tracy; we played on the same basketball team and hegraduated a year ahead of me."It was in the Beaumont club that Giant Records Presidentmeet fans, it's very flattering to think someone would likeyour music and think enough of you to want to meet you"He says, "It's really [the fans] that keep every artist comingback and trying to do more:' he says.
