(2002) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td_colspan="2"> Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue on YouTube </Td> </Tr> <P> "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Toby Keith . The song was written in late 2001, and was inspired by Keith's father's death in March 2001, as well as the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States later that year . It was released in May 2002 as the lead single from the album, Unleashed . The song topped the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and reached number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart becoming his biggest solo hit on that chart . </P> <P> On March 24, 2001, Keith's father, Hubert Keith (H.K.) Covel, was killed in a car accident . That event and the September 11, 2001 attacks prompted Keith to write the song "Courtesy of the Red, White, & Blue (The Angry American)", a song about his father's patriotism and faith in the USA . It took him 20 minutes to write the song . Keith declares that the song was written with reference to the war in Afghanistan, claiming to be indifferent on other conflicts, "But you don't have to listen but once to the words to understand that the song was strictly for Afghanistan ." I have no stance on the Iraq war," he continues, "but the second (that I say), Ι have no stance there, I'm not smart enough to tell whether we should be in there or not". At first, Keith refused to record the song and only sang it live at his concerts for military personnel . </P>
