For the third year, superstar Toby Keith has been named Nashville Songwriter Association International's (NSAI) 2006 Songwriter/Artist of the Year. In the past year Keith released his latest platinum selling album, "White Trash With Money," which features 12 tracks that he wrote or co-wrote including the hit singles "Get Drunk and Be Somebody," "A Little Too Late," and his current single "Crash Here Tonight."
"Crash Here Tonight" is also featured on the soundtrack to Keith's debut feature film, the Paramount Classics and CMT Films BROKEN BRIDGES. The release, on his own label Show Dog Nashville, was the highest debut for a country soundtrack in Soundscan history. The 14-track album boasts eight songs written or co-written by Keith, seven of which Keith himself performs including the title track that features label-mate Lindsey Haun. Haun also helms the hit single from the soundtrack "Broken."
Keith was also awarded the NSAI Songwriter/Artist of the Year title in 2003 and 2004.
Fans can catch Toby Keith live in concert on his Ford Trucks sponsored Hookin' Up & Hangin' Out Tour which includes fellow Show Dog Nashville label-mates Rushlow Harris and Lindsey Haun. Keith's top-notched talent in charge on the road include three winners of 2006 Parnelli Awards, which is the premiere awards show for the live event industry. In a ceremony held this past weekend in Las Vegas, David Milam was named Tour Manager of the Year, Dirk Durham as Front Of The House Mixer of the Year (this is the second year Dirk has won this award) and Earl Neal for Monitor Mixer of the Year. This is the second consecutive year that Milam has been honored with his award.
