Urban gets deluxe with "Get Closer"

Tuesday, February 22, 2011 – A deluxe edition of Keith Urban's sixth studio album, "Get Closer," will be available on the iTunes Store beginning today. In addition to the eight original tracks, the deluxe version features three new studio tracks and four live recordings from his "Love, Pain & the whole crazy thing" World Tour.

This week, the track Georgia Woods from "Get Closer" is the iTunes' free download of the week. The song was written by Urban and Darrell Brown and was originally written on Waylon Jennings guitar, of which Urban is the current owner. "I wanted to use the guitar on some writing sessions, and the riff that starts Georgia Woods came straight out of that guitar. It's like playing a holy grail," he said.

Urban recently debuted the song the second single from his gold certified CD "Get Closer" on ABC's Good Morning America. The song is the follow up to his 24th Top 5 hit Put You in a Song. This summer, Urban will get even closer with his Get Closer 2011 World Tour.

It's a relatively good pop album, for a Nashville pop effort, but there's just too much real country (Jon Pardi, Luke Combs) getting played on mainstream radio these days. The world just doesn't really need new Urban pop music. ...
CD review - Graffiti U It's telling how two songs on Keith Urban's "Graffiti U" album chug along to a reggae beat because pop rhythms and non-country elements are the obvious inspirations for this collection. Opener "Coming Home" may borrow (steal?) a guitar riff from Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried," but this is where that country road begins and ends. Urban follows "Coming Home" with "Never Comin' Down," which is introduced with a funky bass line ...
