Although his latest album, Clancy's Tavern, is less than a year old, singer Toby Keith explains that he is already working on a new set of tunes. He plans to release what would be his 16th studio album as soon as her narrows down the track list.

In a recent interview with Billboard.com, Keith explains he has "about 14 or 15 things recorded…I don't really know what 10 or 11 [songs] are going to make the album yet. I just go in and get a good vocal on everything and then I'll start seeing which three or four gravitate to the top and I'll start building the core of my album right there, and then I'll fill in what I don't have."

Keith promises fans that, after the success of his current single "Red Solo Cup", he will be returning to his traditional sound. "It's the same stuff I usually do," he explains. "It's my world."

Commenting on a few of his upcoming songs, Keith explains that "Everybody heard ["I Like Girls That Drink Beer"] in the studio and was like, 'You've got to release that at some point,'" Toby reveals. He also included a song about one of his favorite pastimes, golf, which he says "kind of puts everything into perspective for all the golfers in the world. It lets you know if you're not on TV, you're not a very good golfer. I've played it about four or five times in public and got rave reviews on it."

Keith is currently spending most of his summer on his Live in Overdrive tour. However, he might have even bigger prospects in his future as well to celebrate his 20th anniversary in music. "We're thinking about doing something to commemorate it, tour-wise, but we still haven't put a time on anything concrete yet," he explains.
