Toby was on a tour bus with Shania Twain traveling through Bowling Green, KY way back in 1993 when he had just released his first self-titled album. He and Shania were sitting in the lounge of the bus when his first single, Should've Been a Cowboy came on the radio. He said Shania started jumping up and down and almost peed in her pants when it came on, and he was speechless. Not a bad place to be when you first hear your song...On a tour bus with Shania Twain.
Toby took that song all the way to #1 on the Billboard Country charts that year. Cadillac Jack chimed in that when he was in Myrtle Beach, SC before coming here to Atlanta, Toby played a little bar along the beach, and played that song three times during the night because it was so big back then.
Just a little nitty gritty from my friends at KICKS 101.5 here in Atlanta. In honor of Toby and Shania, here are a couple of videos from them. The first is Toby's #1 hit from 2005, As Good As I Once Was, and the second is Shania's 1998 #1 single, Honey I'm Home. Enjoy!
