A lot happened to Toby Keith between the release of this album and the previous year`s UNLEASHED. The latter`s "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue" was a jingoistic, post-9/11 smash that caused much furor. A well-publicized feud with the Bush-bashing Dixie Chicks further raised his profile.
With SHOCK`N Y`ALL`s album cover and title referencing the war in Iraq, it`s obvious Keith had few regrets. Regardless, things start off amiably enough with "I Love This Bar," a souse`s reverie worthy of Jerry Jeff Walker or Bobby Bare. Before too long, though, Keith delves into some unabashed liberal-baiting with "American Soldier" and critic-baiting with the self-explanatory "The Critic." The ante is upped considerably on an in-concert recording of "The Taliban Song," about the aftermath of the Afghanistan bombing, but the album closes out on an irreverent note of a different kind with a humorous tune about the after-effects of smoking "Weed with Willie."
