Grief has a way of finding its voice in music, and for Toby Keith, that voice rose in “Cryin’ for Me.” Written after the passing of his close friend Wayman Tisdale, the song feels less like a performance and more like a farewell whispered between brothers. Toby doesn’t sing it with grandeur. His voice is hushed, heavy with loss, but also steady — the kind of steadiness that comes from honoring someone you loved too deeply to let go.
