CD reviews for Keith Urban
Keith Urban's "flow state" is the perfect album to start the summer. The 11-track album contains mainly yacht rock covers that are perfect to listen to while on the beach or out at sea, with covers like "How Much I Feel," by Ambrosia, and "Just The Two Of Us," by Bill Withers and Grover Washington, Jr., entering the mix.
