Editorial Reviews

2010 album from the Country superstar. Get Closer follows #1 Defying Gravity album, which produced two #1 singles including "Only You Can Love Me This Way" and "Sweet Thing", for which Urban won his third Grammy Award (Best Male Country Vocal Performance). "I've always loved songs about `the guy in love with the unattainable girl', said Urban of "Put You In A Song", the debut single from Get Closer. "And the idea that the only chance that this poor guy is ever going to have to get close to the object of his affection is to put her in a song, just struck me. That way he'd be able to take her with him everywhere he goes...day and night."

5.0 out of 5 stars DELUXE VERSION AT TARGET November 16, 2010

By A. York

Format:Audio CD

I know Amazon won't appreciate this but this is directed towards Keith fans that will hopefully read this review before buying the album. For some reason that I have not been able to figure out as of yet the release of Get Closer only has 8 songs on it, HOWEVER, Target exclusively sells a Deluxe version of this album with the extra new songs (bringing the total of new songs to 11) as well as 4 live songs. Why this is only at Target I do not know but that deluxe version is definately worth it. It cost me $11.99. The album itself is great and why I gave it 5 stars. In my opinion it is far better than Defying Gravity with Keith's guitar much more prominent than on some past recordings (check out the end to Georgia Woods, he tears it up). The central theme is obviously loved based but the music itself is very well done and very enjoyable. In conclusion, go to Target and get the deluxe version!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Keith is nothing if not Consistent. November 16, 2010

By Lissa

Format:Audio CD

This CD is a very good release from Keith Urban. Could be his best since Be Here. My favorite songs on this album are You Gonna Fly and Shut out the Lights. I love how he gets back in touch with the sounds from Be Here. Good job Keith.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keith is on a Roll November 16, 2010

By Emgee

Format:Audio CD

I'm really digging this CD. Keith is on a roll. His last two CDs now have been superb. Love, Pain & the whole crazy thing and Be Here both had ups and downs. Most of the material (especially the singles) were good, but were overplayed by the radio, and sometimes late in the CD, some of the songs could wear a bit thin. "Faster Car," "To Compania" and "God Made Woman" were all a bit annoying off of "LP&TWCT" and "Be Here" had a lot of great material, but "You're My Better Half" got so much overplay that it really dulled the album for me.

But with Defying Gravity and this, his new CD, Keith has put out two straight CDs that are just superb from start to finish. I'm satisfied with the eight tracks (would have gotten the Target exclusive version, but had a Best Buy gift card and figured I'd get it there instead).

Great CD, Keith.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed in this CD December 7, 2010

By Jenson Chandler

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

I am a die hard Keith Urban fan. I have every single album that man created. My all time favorites are "Golden Road" and now "Defying Gravity". I have to say I was disappointed in this CD. The entire album is tribute songs to his wife which is very, very nice. However it lacked his extraordinary guitar playing ability and savvy vocals. I know most folks find it very good but I find it lacking "Keith". I am a fan, will always be a fan and will always buy his work regardless! He is one of the best recording artist across all genres. Sorry Keith it just didn't grab me like your other work has :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Music November 16, 2010

By K. Johnston

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

A great album from Keith Urban for a value price. Each song is beautifully crafted with excellent vocals and instrumental work by Keith. A variety of music from the rocking Put You in A Song, to the gorgeous ballad All For You. Add some great fun with sing a long classics like You Gonna Fly and Long Hot Summer. Then sit back and enjoy Keith at his best with Georgia Woods and Right on Back to You. Listen to the hearfelt emotion of Without You and empathize with a couple realizing it's just better to Shut Out The Lights and look at things again in the morning. Another hit that will translate to a blazing hot new tour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Urban album! November 16, 2010

Love this CD - Keith Urban does it again! Catchy lyrics and music, with more depth to his voice than previous albums. I really enjoy his work, and loved hearing all of the new songs. "Georgia Woods" and "Long Hot Summer" will be my favorites I'm guessing. For all of the reviewers complaining about 8 songs - the price is lower than other newly released CDs, and reasonable. I agree that the Target version is worth purchasing. I pre-ordered with Amazon, but bought the Target CD earlier today. My Amazon copy will be a gift for a lucky friend!

Great job Keith!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Album November 20, 2010

By B. Harris

Format:Audio CD

I bought the Deluxe CD from Target the day it was released. It's been playing through my iPod or in my car ever since. In my opinion, this is the best CD from Keith yet. His vocals in this record are just outstanding. I can hear a new confidence in his singing and for that matter, in his playing. Sonically, this record is just amazing. Georgia Woods just blew me away. I don't know how many times I've listened to it. Right On Back To You, Shut Out The Lights, Luxury of Knowing (on the Deluxe version), Big Promises (also on the Deluxe version, Without You, and All For You are my favorites although You Gunna Fly and Long Hot Summer are wonderful, too. Every time as I'm listening to a song I think I want to hear this one again, then the next one starts before I can hit replay and I'm hooked on listening to that one. I can't stop listening. I don't want to stop listening. I can't wait to hear some of these live in concert - it's going to kick butt.

If you love great music, do yourself a favor and go to Target, spend the $11.99, go TODAY, and buy this album. This will make a fantastic gift also!!!
