This Wednesday, the star-studded Toby Keith: An American Icon features Luke Bryan, Tyler Hubbard, Jelly Roll, Parker McCollum, Darius Rucker, Carrie Underwood, Lainey Wilson and more performing Keith's biggest hits before a sold-out crowd at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. Performances and special guest appearances also include Trace Adkins, Priscilla Block, Eric Church, Jordan Davis, Scotty Emerick, Brett Favre, Brantley Gilbert, Riley Green, HARDY, Jamey Johnson, Ella Langley, Leanne Morgan, Mac McAnally, Ashley McBryde and Clay Walker. One of the highlights from the event was a very special appearance by Keith’s daughter, Krystal Keith, who moved the crowd with her powerful performance.

As NBC producers found out, compiling Keith's biggest hits in a two-hour special is an almost impossible task. And so it is with 13 Number Ones, a new hits collection focused on (only some) of his most iconic songs released between 1993 and 2005. All were concert setlist staples, and almost all were performed during the Toby Keith: American Icon celebration. The collection will be available October 4 in CD and vinyl formats. Color vinyl variants will be available through Walmart (red, white and blue splatter vinyl) with limited edition red and clear marbled vinyl exclusively available via the Toby Keith and UMG Nashville web stores. 

Also out October 4 is Keith's first holiday album, Christmas to Christmas. The album was originally released in 1995 and is now remastered for all formats including, for the first time, vinyl, specifically transparent green vinyl. Keith has writer credits on four songs, among them the solo-penned "Hot Rod Sleigh." Avoiding the traditional classics, the collection reflects the breadth of Keith's artistry, wit, poignancy and charm. The vinyl version includes the bonus track of Roger Miller's "Old Toy Trains," recorded by Keith in 2000 and previously available only on a long out-of-print compilation.
