Keith Urban

Keith Urban is possibly in my opinion the best country singer ever, for those who dont know who he is here is a site to go to. and a bit about him.

Keith Urban grew up in Australia with parents who loved American culture, especially country music. The first records he heard were by Charley Pride, Dolly Parton, Don Williams and Jim Reeves. He picked up a guitar at age 6 and knew by 7 that he
would go to Nashville to play country music. By age 8, he was winning country music talent shows and had steady work in a band as a teenager. After hearing the music of Dire Straits, he bought the band's albums and learned every song note by note. He began to throw what he learned into his solos onstage. The resulting fusion of rock-style guitar work with country music has become Urban's signature style.

In 1988, Urban formed a three-piece band whose distinctive take on country music led to solid success in Australia. After charting four No. 1 country singles there, he made the move to Nashville. Once in Music City, he formed another three-piece band, The Ranch. The trio's live shows caused a buzz in town, eventually leading to a deal with Capitol Nashville and a self-titled album in 1997. Critics raved about the album's unique take on country music and Urban's virtuoso guitar playing. Other artists also took notice, and when the group disbanded, they called on Urban to add some of his fleet-fingered magic to their records. Garth Brooks asked Urban to play on Double Live, and the Dixie Chicks invited him to play on Fly.

Urban released his debut self-titled album in 2000 on Capitol Nashville. Despite his somewhat grungy look, he was gradually accepted at radio with "It's a Love Thing," "Your Everything" and the No. 1 "But for the Grace of God." (The latter was written by Urban and two members of the Go-Gos.) He toured with Brooks & Dunn's Neon Circus in early 2001 and won the CMA Horizon award later that year.

Urban finished 2002 on a high note. "Somebody Like You," the first single from his album Golden Road spent six weeks at No. 1, and the video featured supermodel Niki Taylor. In 2003, another single from the album, "Who Wouldn't Want to Be Me," also reached No. 1.

and this following song is the one i can relate to the most

Nobody Drinks Alone

*Listen to song

You brought that bottle home in a paper sack
Drew the blinds and locked the doors
And there's nothing but empty there inside that glass
So you pour a little more
And there's no one there to judge you
At least that's what you tell yourself, but

[Chorus:]
Don't you know
Nobody drinks alone
Every demon, every ghost
From your past
And every memory you've held back
Follows you home
Nobody drinks alone

You remember whiskey on your daddy's breath
So you always stick to wine
And you scared your little brother half to death
You just kept it all inside
You can hear your mama cryin'
Only now she cries for you, and

Don't you know
Nobody drinks alone
Every demon, every ghost
From your past
And every memory you've held back
Follows you home
Nobody drinks alone

Though you're only
Hey don't you let that feelin' fool ya

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Nobody drinks alone
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

also here is anouther song which is just so good (in my opinion)



I'm gonna be here for you baby
I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm
And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

I wanna honor your mother
I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you
A man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us

We'll follow the rainbow
Wherever the four winds blow
And there'll be a new day
Comin' your way

I'm gonna be here for you from now on
This you know somehow
You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now
And I'm gonna make you a promise
If there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm, wet kiss

And I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
And I'll win your trust making memories of you.

xxTime-To-Dance xx:

I don't like him. I dont like country at all, but thats my opinion.

i didnt expect many people here to like him.

Meh....I can stand him but I don't listen to his music. The only country artist I regularly listen to is Johnny Cash.

You can tell he can play the guitar amazingly, some of his songs are good.

I think you are the only person who agrees with me on Keith Urban. I absolutely love his music. He has an amazing voice, and from what I've seen, I think he's a really good person. Everyone else I know either doesn't listen to country, or hates Keith Urban's guts. I just want to know how they could hate someone who puts his heart into his music and everything he does.

And I agree with you on "Nobody Drinks Alone" It's an amazing song. I think everyone should listen to it. They may not realize it, but it is 100% true.

I HATE most country music(Besides Keith, Johnny Cash and LittleBigTown), but this guy owns!
Keith Urban rules. He has the most romantic and amazing lyrics, and his voice is great.

yeah he's pretty good i guess! but i like dixie chicks ^_^
