I love this CD. The songs make you feel as if you are reading someone's journal -- it's almost a diary of a relationship -- the ups and downs, the joys and the pain. Keith definitely sings about topics that I, as a 32 year old man, want to hear. His guitar playing is great, his songwriting is real, and you can hear the truth in his voice. This is a CD that I plan to give to friends. If you like Jackson Browne, Dixie Chicks, Merle Haggard, James Taylor, Jewel, Lucinda Williams.....you will like this cd. I read the review that the Amazon music reviewer gave -- I'm sorry, but I don't think he listened to the same album I did -- I think he quickly scanned his copy and moved on. This is an album to be savored -- to listen to over and over, and find new nuances each time you do.

Rick Mitchell's review - for Amazon - of Keith Urban's debut CD totally misses the point. This is a CD of good songs and good playing. The production is appropriately clean and hi-tech. Mitchell laments that Urban spends little time exploring themes of adult angst and disillusionment. I've got news for you Rick, I'm a 44-year-old who has experienced enough cynicism, nihlism, anger, and pain to last me a good long time. If a person as talented as Keith Urban cares to present direct, cynicism-free songs in such an appealing way, I am 100% for it. This CD isn't just for those who believe in love and life, it's for those who WANT to believe.

Hi there, I read the review from the guy from Amazon and I beg to differ! As Jon from NYC said in his review, that guy must have listened to a completely different CD!. The CD is excellent, I can't stop playing it! Keith Urban has beautiful songs, all with meaningful lyrics and I think he is fantastic. To anyone who thinks otherwise, take some time to listen to the CD again, listen to the lyrics, listen to his voice and then see if you still feel the same... if you do, then he's obviously not your cup of tea, but don't write reviews on webpages like these to discourage others from buying his CD, because they will miss out on the beauty of his voice and music just because you don't like it. Let them make their own opinion.

I feel Keith Urban is an incredible guitar player, singer, writer, etc. Don't know why he didn't have a lot of number one hits off this CD. Everybody that has listened to this CD at my house has gone out and purchased their own copy. I highly recommend purchasing this. (Actually I highly recommend purchasing any and all Keith Urban CD's!)

This is early Keith - much more mellow than his newer things. Very nice, but not as much "punch" as he has now. We listened to it traveling to Mt. Rainier on a beautiful summer day - perfect!

Keith Urban is amazing. I bought this album when "Your Everything" was released and am expecting to replace it soon due to over use. This CD is the perfect mix of country and rock. It has love ballads that are sung with such feeling that they will melt your heart yet it has several tracks that make you want to dance or drive fast (not sure which). To the reviewer who said that only one track exibits Keith Urban's guitar prowess I say, "Watch him play! Whether live or an a video, Keith rocks!" I think his earring, barefoot, austrailian accent style helps to distiguish him from others and his cross over style will appeal to country and rock lovers alike! He is simply irresistable. This cd is a MUST have!

I got the opportunity to see him in an up close concert, and being a person who does not listen to much country music, just going to a country music concert was a "you owe me big" task for my friend. I got to meet him in person and that was cool. He was such a nice guy. Then when he got on stage and started to play. I found myself just listening and really enjoying his style of music. He was fun, then emotional, and very cool all around. I went home and the next day I bought his cd, well actually cd's. I have enjoyed them all. All though they may not have the concert feel that I experienced. I love listening to them all the time. So Keith Urban goes right into my collection along with No Doubt, Matchbox Twenty, American Hi-Fi, Dixie Chicks, Sting, SR71, Wheatus, Garth Brooks and so on.

keith urban is one of country music's greatest performers. Combining country and pop to a style that can only be described as "urban", keith delivers a smashing album. Begining with the up-beat-make-ya-wanta-dance song "It's a Love Thing", you can tell right away there's something special here. The back-to-your-roots-influenced-by-pop song "Where the Blacktop Ends" continues the fun. To skip over a few songs, we come back to "A Little Luck of our Own", another good one. Again leaving a few out (don't worry, they're all good) we come to the instrumental "Rollercoaster." I normally don't like instrumentals, but this one is absolutely perfect. The CD ends with the sad "I Thought You Knew". Every song on this CD screams for a place at the top of the charts. Buy "keith urban" today, and you won't be sorry tomorrow.

Alright, I'm really into metal music, but i also like country,mostly because its what my parents listen to. I absolutley love Keith Urban! When i first heard him on the radio, I was impressed. He's awesome! I can't wait to get his new cd, Be Here.

"Where The Blacktop Ends" is a favorite on this CD; I want to go barefoot just listening to it! "But For The Grace of God," "Your Everything," "It's A Love Thing," and the instrumental "Rollercoaster," make this CD a favorite for listening to anytime. Personally, I like to listen to this CD as I go to sleep at night. There's just something awesome about listening to Keith Urban's mellow voice crooning as you drift off to sleep that is very soothing. As I find typical of Keith Urban's music, there isn't a single song on this CD that I don't like. The instrumentation is exceptionally fine, as well as diverse. There's something on this CD for those who like the slow, ballad type songs, as well as for those who like the "southern" rock/country style. I purchased this CD after already loving "Golden Road" and "Be Here," so it was a "given" that I'd enjoy this cd as well.
