LOS ANGELES (Toby keith Fans Website) - Goodness gracious! Last Saturday night, L.A.'s Staples Center became a one-night-only Hall of Fame concert stage as DreamWorks Records superstar Toby Keith was joined on stage by musical living legends Merle Haggard and Jerry Lee Lewis. Haggard joined Toby on two songs, "Ramblin' Fever" and "Mama Tried." Jerry Lee Lewis then sat at the piano for a rollicking version of his immortal "Great Balls of Fire." Said the Orange County Register "The goosebumps it gave the crowd were well-earned." The Orange County Register went on to praise "the crowd- thrilling spectacle [Toby] displayed," calling Toby "country music's greatest entertainer of the moment - indeed, arguably the best since Garth, and surely the performer with the widest appeal." The Hollywood Reporter also wrote "Keith blasted out hit after hit." The review adds "the appearance of Haggard for two numbers...brought the show to a whole different level, followed by the surprise shot from Jerry Lee Lewis banging electric piano and belting 'Great Balls of Fire,' Keith all grin, enjoying it as much as the crowd."
