/

Label: Capitol Nashville

Year: 2004
Recommended by: Megan Keith

Keith Urban was one of the biggest country acts in the world in the mid-2000's and has parlayed that into a judge spot on AMERICAN IDOL!!!!!

It is pretty strongly implied by previous reviews that genre of country just is not for me. Keith Urban's entry into the project hasn't really changed that fact at all. However, it was not a chore to go through this album. It is pop focused with country leanings. It seems it was right before the time that country went to a straight pop sound, so the New Zealand man kept a separate sound.

I'm actually surprised that I was unfamiliar with every song on the album, considering it was a huge hit, but the songwriting is a bit stronger than the other country album's I have listened to so far, and for that I must respect it.
