Toby Keith Makes Son Get Off the Couch.

17 Aug 2010, 7:11 am

When TOBY KEITH was growing up, he’d spend all summer playing baseball with the other kids in the neighborhood. Now that he’s a dad himself, he notices his 13-year-old son STELEN would rather stay inside and play games all day. “I make him get out and do stuff,” Toby tells TheBoot.com. “He likes playing basketball. They get on a trampoline, it’s got a goal up on it, and they do all these fancy dunks and stuff.”

In other Toby news, fans can look forward to a deluxe edition of his new album Bullets in the Gun, due out October 5th. The expanded set will include Toby’s take on a few cover tunes, recorded live at his recent, secret show at the Fillmore in New York. Those songs are JOHNNY PAYCHECK’s “11 Months and 29 Days,” “I’ve Been a Long Time Leaving (But I’ll Be a Long Time Gone)” by WAYLON JENNINGS, “Chug-a-Lug” by ROGER MILLER, and GORDON LIGHTFOOT’s “Sundown.” The deluxe edition of Bullets in the Gun, which Toby produced, also features his latest single, “Trailerhood.”

Little Big Town’s new album The Reason Why, bolts out of the chute to No. 1 on this week’s Billboard Country Albums chart, and it’s followed by the Randy Rogers Band’s Burning The Day, checking in at No. 2. In fact, groups occupy four of the Top 5 slots on the chart. Lady Antebellum’s Need You Now checks in at No. 4, and the the Zac Brown Band hanging in at No. 5 with the double-platinum project The Foundation. The only thing blocking bands from a Top 5 sweep is the Trace Adkins album Cowboy’s Back In Town.
