Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue (The Angry American)” is a patriotic anthem written in response to the events of September 11, 2001, and the passing of his father, a veteran, in March 2001. Released in May 2002 as the lead single from his album “Unleashed,” the song encapsulates the American spirit of resilience and pride. The accompanying music video, directed by Michael Salomon, features Keith performing for U.S. troops, emphasizing themes of patriotism and national pride. The song achieved significant success, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and becoming one of Keith’s most recognized works.
