Toby Keith: 'White Trash With Money'

In the world of country music, Toby Keith is already a living legend. In just 13 years the Oklahoma native has sold almost 30 million albums and scored 21 No. 1 hits.

His latest album, "White Trash with Money," arrived in record stores last week and is expected to open at the top of the country charts. Keith visited The Early Show Wednesday and explained how he came up with the provocative title.

"My daughter got into it with another person in our town, another teenage girl her age, and her mother said, 'Well, you shouldn't run with them, they're just white trash with money, anyway.' And it upset my wife. I'm the king of that stuff. So I'm like, my kids are the heir to the throne of the white trash in my house. So I said, 'Let's just use it for an album title,' "

The first song on the album embodies that spirit pretty well, Keith says. It's called "Get Drunk and Be Somebody," a sort of blue collar anthem, as he explained to Smith. "All week long I'm a real nobody, but it's the weekend, I'm going to get drunk and be somebody. Or if you get a hangover you can get up tomorrow and be somebody else."

This newest album was produced on Keith's own record label but he says it doesn't depart much from his past work, except by including "a couple of tender things." One of them is a ballad called "A Little Too Late," which Keith performed for The Early Show. To watch that performance,
