Keith Urban features in the news an awful lot out here in Australia.
Apparently he is married to some actress called Nicole Kidman.

Saw him last week and was utterly entertained to the fullest (Kenny
chesney
entertainer of the year my a**)! He put on a 2.5 hour show, and played
some
pretty flashy guitar (he is more of a rocker than a country artist). If
you
want to check him out, there is a special on CMT (country music
television)
airing this month called "Keith Urban: Invitation Only". It is sort of
an
"unplugged type show". At least check out when he plugs in at the 15 and
42
minute marks, I believe anyone who appreciates guitar will enjoy it.

I only knew half his songs that they play on my wife's radio, but the
rest
that I didn't know were very good as well. He did a guitar solo in the
middle of the show, quoting famous riffs such as "smoke on the water",
"sweet home Alabama", "stairway to heaven", and "walk this way". He had
a
stage in the middle of the floor (ala the Stones last couple tours)
where
the band did a 6 song set. Encores were billy joel's "you may be right",
steve miller's "the joker", and the eagles "take it easy". Outstanding
hi-def video screen, light show, etc., one of the top 10 shows I have
seen
over a 25 year career of seeing live concerts! 

He will be doing a tour starting 1/31 with carrie underwood that is only
hitting 24 cities (I am targeting atlantic city since the inlaws live
there). His new album (18 Kids, a greatest hits) comes out Tuesday, so I
would recommend picking up a copy when you get your Eric Clapton
Crossroads
Chicago DVD that comes out that day as well (my EC head on a stick is
featured throughout from the 3rd row center)!
