In 2007 in Norman Oklahoma my mom was struck by a drunk driver, rode the hood of their car over a quarter mile before flying off and being struck again. It made the news and I was in the same grade as Toby’s son going to the same elementary school. He heard about what happened and showed up in person to our broken down home and had his chefs cater food for us to put up and have as we were really struggling. He also gave my dad a check and told him to stay strong. Toby was a good man to us and I will never forget what he did. Edit: just to add, he also showed up to our school bands fundraiser after the Moore tornado and gave a huge sum of money for us to give to relief efforts. Also edit: I need to add that while my mother was in an extremely long coma and was paralyzed she was saved by an old school paramedic that hit her twice with an adrenaline shot. My family has been forever changed since this has happened and I still appreciate the condolences. Just had to clear that up as I wasn’t very clear when I posted this.
He took care of his home community. What a great man he was! Loved his homies and loved his Sooners! He will be missed and RIP to your mother. May God bless your life, my fellow Okie. ❤
Post never ceases to amaze me with how he's better at performing country songs live than alot of other modern country artists. He's incredible. Awesome tribute to Toby!
I kind of agree with that Cody Johnson is great and so it Zach Bryan and Tyler halverson also Oliver Anthony but the rest suck I think 80’s and 90’s country is the best
My dad raised me on Toby Kieth. I’m 38 now, and they’re both gone. This song brings me right back to the ole days of singing with along with my dad to Toby’s songs. This song becomes more true the older I get lol.
I’m 38 as well. Grew up on Toby as well listening in my mom’s Mercury Sable. My dad has almost died multiple times but somehow he’s still around, all the best!
I never understand when people say they hate a performer. So, don't listen to him! There are a few artist whose music I don't care for. I can still appreciate their talent even if it's not my cup of tea. R.I.P. Toby Miss you man.
I mean tbf, he started learning and playing country music before he went into the industry, and he does play country on occasion today, so it's not really not outside his comfort zone.
I never listened to country until one day in Nevada this same song played on the radio as I drove a hitchhiker all the way to Reno. He was a young very large black fellow and I knew if I didn’t pick him up he wasn’t likely to get where he needed to go that day. He knew every word and we had a good laugh as we sang it together on that stretch between Carson city and Reno . Toby, you helped me make someone’s day and turned me on to country music and a way of life I’m still living 15 years later as a real deal cowboy in CO. Post Malone thanks for this awesome tribute
Same. I grew up around my moms family ( black) in a old black community . And lived in alot of urban settings. But foster care opened me up and as I got older I just grew to appreciate good music. Same with rock.i thunk it was kid rock originally with T.I in a song together. That's what got me.
@wildwesternmedicine well if you go in, is TH-cam and go in the shorts. There's a song he sings with morgan wallen. It's basically a teasing of one of the songs that's gonna be on the album. + Don't know if you have followed him a lot lately, but he's always somewhere where the country is. near.
Got to eat with Toby Keith in a small DFac in Iraq. The man brought out two whole smoked hogs (In a Muslim country) and made a deployment for all there! Rest in Peace to a legend from someone who's not a fan of his music, though I by no means dislike it. Not a rap/R&B fan but respect to Post Malone for being a superb musician and great human being. Blessings all Edit: To was changed to Two
I'm a Texan lived here my entire life and I can tell you TEXAS IS PROUD OF POST MALONE. TEXAS IS A GREAT FRIENDLY STATE . GOD, FAMILY , FIRST !! AND YA, NEIGHBOR.... ❤ BUT WE DON'T TAKE NO 🐂 SHIT!!
God first? How about putting something that actually exists first for a change? The world would be a lot better place if folks would stop arguing about which pretend version of shit they ascribe to and actually start caring about the folks they are surrounded by. And Texans do take shit. Look at your Congressional representation and State government. Pure excrement, by any standards.
Post was raised in Grapevine, TX this guy knows what country is all about he just never forgot where he came from like most new artist today! Keep rockin Post!
A man who while not perfect like all of us aren’t, loved his country, loved his family and loved god and wasn’t afraid to show it. We really lost a good one in ole Toby🙏
Not really a post fan..but when I heard he covered this song i HAD to check it out.. Brought a tear to my eye. STELLAR JOB BROTHER! thank you for such a pleasant surprise..
Lemme tell you, country music has a longgg line of pop stars who’ve wanted to try out country music or take advantage of country music. It’s dress up for them. But post Malone is a Texas boy. And he loves the genre. Dude covered Sturgill Simpson. That’s pretty dang country. And Posty is about to drop a country album. And I’d be willing to bet the farm that Post Malones new country album is going to be more country than 90% of what comes outta Nashville.
Damn. I usually dislike the sound of live performances unless I’m there hearing it. This was really good. Got me caught up a little bit. Toby Keith could arguably be considered one of the few artists that I remember hearing from the early 2000’s. Not many left as big of an impression as he did. Post did this song justice, for sure.
Everything I've ever seen from Post; regardless of genre; has seemed honest and genuine. He has true talent and a respect for others and I love how he puts everything in to whatever he does.
Post is proof if you throw enough genres and music at the wall eventually you will become famous. Don't get pigeon-holed in your genre there are so many amazing songs in all kinds of genres!
I'm old, 54, none has had stage presence and vice like Post since Freddy Mercury. Two of the greatest of all time. Love you Post and love you Toby. You made your forever mark for sure.
It's very cool to see someone who is popular now that I love him and his music paying tribute to someone I grew up listening to. Good on you, Posty. RIP Toby.
A lot of us get goosebumps with this heartfelt cover by Post because we remember hearing Toby's songs in bars and it reminds us of our younger years....friends we've lost..loves we've lost...nostalgia that we can't really ever fully relive. The way Post's voice echoes this legendary song by the country legend Toby Keith really brings back the memories of "better" days for me, at least. Post really performed this with love you can tell he really liked Toby. A lot of us took Toby for granted but hearing this song echoing now after he is gone sure does bring back some bittersweet memories and makes my heart go out to him. God bless him he was a great performer and so charismatic.
Kinda ironic hearing Posty perform this in his prime. I hope I'm still alive to hear him perform it again in 20 years when the song becomes as personal to him as it is to me.. RIP Tobes..
Wow how often do you see a young musician pay tribute to a country music icon! That's real COMPASSION FOR MUSIC! POST IS THE FUCKING REAL DEAL!! AND A MUSICAL GENIUS !!!
Post Malone has one me over, over time. I like the way he just does the music he wants to do, he's a musician who loves to play music. He plays music the way I listen to it. If I like it, I like it.
the man can literally play and style of music he wants not to mention is a multi instrumentalist and obviously has many musical influences and certainly is not afraid to be himself in a very very cookie cutter industry ,, back in the day that's what was known as a real musician ,, props Mr.Malone
I still can't understand how anyone dislikes Post Malone. He's awesome and he's as talented as some of the greatest musicians. RIP Toby
They pay attention to the all the BS, music is what matters most
I'm 71 years old and I love Post Malone, he's super talented!
@@Rustyknife1 I’m sure Toby Keith and post Malone would agree that music is music, just because you don’t like it, it doesn’t mean it’s trash.
I never wanted to like ol Posty but I can't help it. He's a great musician and a hell of a good dude.
people hate on those who are successful because they are jealous and feel inferior. Rather than build themselves up they try to tear others down

That's rad dude. What a guy
Amazing story, thank you and hope you are well.
That's amazing! I'm so sorry for your loss ❤
Sorry to hear about your mother :( I remember that story. I'm in the DFW area.
He took care of his home community. What a great man he was! Loved his homies and loved his Sooners! He will be missed and RIP to your mother. May God bless your life, my fellow Okie. ❤
Been a Texan my whole life, if you’re gonna step outside your music genre, do it like Post Malone ❤️ Much respect!
He started his music journey playing country, so I'm not surprised howneasilynhe can lean back into it.
Post is a pure soul. Great guy.
As a Texan no one asked where you’re from. Why did you feel it necessary to tell everyone you weirdo?
@@turquoisenoise1131 I agree that was annoying but man your response clearly shows you’re from a dump lmao
Respect!!
Post never ceases to amaze me with how he's better at performing country songs live than alot of other modern country artists. He's incredible. Awesome tribute to Toby!
That's because Posty is a truly talented artist, while most of the others out there are just flavors of the week.
I kind of agree with that
Cody Johnson is great and so it Zach Bryan and Tyler halverson also Oliver Anthony but the rest suck
I think 80’s and 90’s country is the best
I love his Elvis songs.
He definitely doesn't have that country voice but he's good
Agree. Posty put out a country album
My dad raised me on Toby Kieth. I’m 38 now, and they’re both gone. This song brings me right back to the ole days of singing with along with my dad to Toby’s songs. This song becomes more true the older I get lol.

I'm 38, also. Born and raised in HB Ca. Saw Toby live at the Irvine Amphitheater when i was 21. Maaaan it was incredible.
It helps to be a Texan too
ya gave me chills
Amen brother. 38 here too.
I love that even at a posty concert you can hear people singing along to toby keith
I was watching and thinking the same thing ! Very cool !
If you're a human that doesn't like Toby Keith, you're no human I want to know.
Wasn't a Posty concert, it was part of The American Rodeo of this year
Dude is straight talented. If you hate him, it’s you.
I don't hate him he just kinda sounds like shit when I hear him sing live things without loud music and electronic aids. He's probably cool.
@@JNOSNOW And he's weird as Hell. Doesn't seem like a bad dude tho
I never understand when people say they hate a performer. So, don't listen to him! There are a few artist whose music I don't care for. I can still appreciate their talent even if it's not my cup of tea. R.I.P. Toby Miss you man.
@@tynj4173 being weird isn't a bad thing
I LOVE the fact that the people there to see Post also knew Toby enough to sing along.!
He was playing at The American. It’s a premier rodeo event! Of course they knew Toby
that WAS fantastic!!
This was an actual Toby Keith tribute event.
@@JC-xl1pp0:57
No it wasnt@@j.a.r.family2576
As is said: "You can take the boy out of Texas, but you can't ever take Texas out of the boy." Well done, Post.
He was born in Syracuse NY...
He moved to Texas when he was 10, he's a Texan 🤠
@@P0wderMonkey and his name is Austin lol everything about that boy is Texas
@@P0wderMonkeyI support this comment
This guy is a legend. He respects every genre of music, isn't afraid to step out of his comfort zone to try new things. Much respect to you sir.
I mean tbf, he started learning and playing country music before he went into the industry, and he does play country on occasion today, so it's not really not outside his comfort zone.
Posty did Toby damn proud with this one ❤
He Sure Did :) He Made him Proud as Ever
Huge Toby fan for decades. Post did it right. Dudes talent never ceases to amaze me.
I love how he admires such a wide range of true Musicians. RIP TOBY!
Post Malone is a good human. He respects music.
Please don’t let these Toby tributes die. Keep them going all year
Didn’t realize how good a voice he has..wow

Damn man that's a heck of a memory. Country music is like comfort food for the soul lol I love it!
Welcome to Nevada, friend.
Same. I grew up around my moms family ( black) in a old black community . And lived in alot of urban settings. But foster care opened me up and as I got older I just grew to appreciate good music. Same with rock.i thunk it was kid rock originally with T.I in a song together. That's what got me.
What an awesome memory you made!!! Love TK and love PM singing his songs!
Post needs a country album. No autotune.
he's making one right now
That’s his vibrato not auto tune
@@Smogytho For real?!?
@wildwesternmedicine well if you go in, is TH-cam and go in the shorts. There's a song he sings with morgan wallen. It's basically a teasing of one of the songs that's gonna be on the album. + Don't know if you have followed him a lot lately, but he's always somewhere where the country is. near.
@@Smogytho Oooooohhhhh I just looked it up and I dig it!!
Who else got goosebumps before being 30 seconds in? RIP Toby
I like it when Toby sings it. This sucks
@@amonrodriguez3518 thanks for the opinion no one asked for… hope ya feel special
Toby Keith was a 10/10 songwriter.
He also had Scotty Emerick as a friend and band mate, and you can't do much better than that for a songwriter these days. I wish more people knew him.
Got to eat with Toby Keith in a small DFac in Iraq. The man brought out two whole smoked hogs (In a Muslim country) and made a deployment for all there! Rest in Peace to a legend from someone who's not a fan of his music, though I by no means dislike it. Not a rap/R&B fan but respect to Post Malone for being a superb musician and great human being.

What a beautiful tribute to a genuine country artist! Posty, LET'S GO WITH YOUR COUNTRY MUSIC DEBUT ALBUM!!
Best musician of our generation
Post was raised in Grapevine, TX this guy knows what country is all about he just never forgot where he came from like most new artist today! Keep rockin Post!
I know this is really late. Dude you're a dumb sob if you think that post Malone did To y justice with this BS.
If
It’s been a few weeks since he died, and it still hurts my heart. He was the best thank God we have this music.
A man who while not perfect like all of us aren’t, loved his country, loved his family and loved god and wasn’t afraid to show it. We really lost a good one in ole Toby🙏
Totally a class act and good human. We need more people like him
The crowd signing alone. That’s awesome. Post is a going to be a legend.
Not really a post fan..but when I heard he covered this song i HAD to check it out.. Brought a tear to my eye. STELLAR JOB BROTHER! thank you for such a pleasant surprise..
You should look into his other country song covers. He seems to be a genuine normal person. And that has made me a fan
Fo sho! Genuine artist across the board. ❤️
Yes go check out you can have the crown by post and he covers brad paisley aswelll both good post deff has the talent
I'm definitely a fan now! #Respect
Love the Red Solo Cup pour in his honor! Awesome tribute!
100%
There's a sincere vulnerability to his ode to Toby. It's fantastic.
This dude is a national treasure.
Much respect to Post Malone. There will never be another Toby Keith.
Toby impacted more singers than he knew. The outpouring of tributes is amazing. I hope he’s looking down and seeing how loved he was .
Don't know Post Malones music but he is a awesome country music artist. Loved it! RIP Toby Keith 💔😢
You should listen to Post Malone - Better Now or Goodbyes.
He has a really awesome voice.

Agreed. Id like him to do more alt-country. He has the right edge for it

Post Malone nailed it. Beautiful tribute!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
True class, especially when he is just coming over to a country music and honors Toby like this. Good on you Post, you’re a country boy now.
Post is a great dude. RIP Cowboy.
Brought a tear! He can sing country he has such heart in his voice
I seen him live capital one arena in DC sold out 68k , my daughters first concert. By far the BEST live artist I've ever seen #postmaloneawesome
Damn.
I usually dislike the sound of live performances unless I’m there hearing it.
This was really good. Got me caught up a little bit.
Toby Keith could arguably be considered one of the few artists that I remember hearing from the early 2000’s. Not many left as big of an impression as he did.
Post did this song justice, for sure.
He even poured some of his drink out of his red solo cup, class move Post!!❤❤
True artist. Can cover basically any genre. So so glad he's not part of the 27 club. Keep going Post.
My Grandpa always requests me to play this song. He always gets a kick out of the lyrics. love it
Much respect for Post Malone.. And Toby Keith
Hearing the crowd sing along at parts absolutely warms my heart holy shit thats wholesome.
I have grown to be a post Malone fan. Never disliked him. Just seems like a very genuine good dude.
Everything I've ever seen from Post; regardless of genre; has seemed honest and genuine. He has true talent and a respect for others and I love how he puts everything in to whatever he does.
Post is proof if you throw enough genres and music at the wall eventually you will become famous. Don't get pigeon-holed in your genre there are so many amazing songs in all kinds of genres!
YES!!!!
I became a fan after the Nirvana concert he did back in 2021
*1000!

Post should drop a country album
100 💯. No other country artist are paying tribute to TOBY KEITH. IT IS ASHAMED.
Because most country artists don’t even know what country is
Parker McCollum did
ive seen a bunch, maybe you havent looked?
@@illuminatorrrrtr None of them are country.
What a great cover of this. RIP Toby
Don’t know who Post Malone is, but that was a fitting tribute.
Post Malone is the fking G.O.A.T.!! This is yet another amazing rendition of an iconic song! R.I.P. Toby Keith! Posty done you proud!
❤❤❤ rest in peace Toby ❤❤❤
Metal head here 🖐.. this man continually amazed me with his hip hop music plus his eclectic musical vocabulary. Guy is incredible hands down.
Don’t take a lot to amaze you apparently lol that’s prob why you are a metal head
RIP Toby. Legend.
Posty can sing anything
Nice tribute to Toby. I do hope that Post puts out a country album, eventually
You’re hopes came true. It’s got some killer tracks on it too
It's very cool to see someone who is popular now that I love him and his music paying tribute to someone I grew up listening to. Good on you, Posty. RIP Toby.

at 63 I enjoy Post Malone , he just seems so genuine, a young man that enjoys life , people and performing his music with others and alone... ❤❤❤ 😊
Respect. Posty is the only humble artist left in music.
Kinda ironic hearing Posty perform this in his prime. I hope I'm still alive to hear him perform it again in 20 years when the song becomes as personal to him as it is to me.. RIP Tobes..
Posty is such a genuine dude. Love him.
Post Malone is just a good guy that is living everyones dream!
Posty honors country music more than most of the artists in the genre today. ❤

Greatest cover of all time
Love him or hate him, you got to admit he’s pretty damn talented.
Wow how often do you see a young musician pay tribute to a country music icon! That's real COMPASSION FOR MUSIC! POST IS THE FUCKING REAL DEAL!! AND A MUSICAL GENIUS !!!
