When
it comes to "country music", Keith Urban is living proof it
doesn't matter what country your from, country music is
country music and if Urban is singing it, all the better.
Country music fans all over the world have embraced this
adorable winner of Australia's coveted Aria Award, he has
also won Grammys, and numerous awards from the Country Music
Association, Academy of County Music and far too many others
to mention here. Urban's bio says he "has brought his own
distinctive talent, energy, and charisma to country music
and beyond. In return, Urban has now established himself as
both a global superstar and a highly respected artist with
the impressive track record to prove it." I agree
completely. With his newest CD release titled Get Closer,
his winning streak doesn't look like it will end any time
soon.
I was so thrilled to review Urban's CD especially after
catching up with Preston Brust and Chris Lucas of LoCash
Cowboys last week. They were celebrating the news they had
received only days prior; the "news" was that a very well
known artist had recorded a song they wrote. Brust and Lucas
were not told who it was until days before the official
release of the album pictured above, none other than the
popular Australian artist Keith Urban. The song, "You Gonna
Fly," co-written by Jaren Johnston, is the second cut on the
album.
If you're like me and you like acoustic music, you're sure
to like one of my favorites titled "Without You", it's a
soft ballad about finding one another and love. "Put You In
A Song," the first song released from the CD is an upbeat
tune, one of those songs you never get tired of listening
to. "Big Promises" is another song on the album I really
enjoyed. A line from the song goes .
"For the rest of your life /
I’ll be forever true
I’ll be loving you, / loving you / Big promises"
If your looking for a great album to listen to, give as
a gift, or even help Get Closer to someone special,
this album is the one for you. Ten great songs and, in my
opinion, this album is defiantly is a ten.
Think I will go hit repeat a few
more times.
