Keith Urban Reviews & Ratings

Keith Urban was born in New Zealand in October 26, 1967, started his musical career in Australia where he grew up, and is now enjoying success in the American country music scene. People would also recognize him as husband to highly acclaimed actress Nicole Kidman and father to their daughter Sunday Rose.

Urban had his first dose of entertainment limelight back in Australia in the 1990s when he was in band called The Ranch. They produced quite a few hits, with Urban’s guitar-playing skills catching special attention. He felt a yearning to take part in a much bigger market that is Nashville, which he pursued with great effort even encountering setbacks such as substance abuse and much recently, rehabilitation from alcoholism.

It was in 1999 that he scored his self-titled album, but his second one entitled ‘Golden Road’ sealed his status as a certified Nashville star in 2002. The album created three number 1 country singles, “Somebody Like You”, “You’ll Think of Me” and “Who Wouldn’t Want to be Me?”

In 2004, Urban had a triumphant crossover to mainstream when his third album, ‘Be Here’, placed number 3 in the Billboard charts. This paved the way for numerous recognitions from Country Music Awards and Grammys as well. Urban finally makes it to the top when his sixth album, ‘Defying Gravity’, reached number 1 in March 2009.
