Content

The album was Keith's first new studio album since 35 MPH Town in 2015. He began writing for the album at a house he owned in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico during the COVID-19 pandemic. After receiving calls for new music from "radio honchos", he decided to compile a new album. The album's lead single is "Old School", co-written by country singer Maren Morris and her then-husband, Ryan Hurd. It was Keith’s final Top 40 country hit to date.^[2]

Critical reception

The album received four out of five stars from AllMusic, whose reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that "Lively, funny, and brawny in a way he hasn't been since his hot streak in the 2000s, Peso in My Pocket is filled with songs so lean that it takes a moment to realize that Keith covers a lot of musical ground here."^[1]
