NASHVILLE - January 20, 2004 - The night before the AFC and NFC 

champions battle it out on the field for the coveted Super Bowl XXXVIII 

championship,CMT is throwing its own brand of tailgate party to celebrate the current

This historic one-hour concert will kick-off the country's biggest 

sporting event and will be telecast live from Houston, the home of Super Bowl

superstar Toby Keith, supported by his band and a gathering of very special 

friends.

Scheduled to join Keith are Texan legend and collaborator Willie Nelson;

Sammy Hagar; Darryl McDaniels (DMC); Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili 

Peppers); and

jazz musician Wayman Tisdale.







"The Super Bowl always marks a time when friends can get together, 

enjoy the best game of football, talk about which television commercial they 

think is the funniest and be entertained by some of the best artists music has 

to offer," says Keith.  "It's an honor to be asked to be a part of the event

this year and I can't wait to get on stage with my friends from country,

rock and pop music for all our fans."




Keith heads into 2004 after having a stellar 2003 year,

beginning with the hit "Who's Your Daddy," which spent five weeks at 

No. 1, and continuing with country music domination of the singles "Beer For 

My Horses" and "I Love This Bar" which both spent six weeks at No. 1. 

Since its release in November 2003, Keith's latest album "Shock 'N Y'All" has 

sold over two and a half million copies and remains number one on the 

Country Album chart while his previous, quadruple-platinum album, "Unleashed," 

holds steady in the Top 5.
