Keith Urban first brought his songs to Nashville in the mid-’90s, and by the time he released his self-titled solo album in 1999, the New Zealand-born Australian was quickly becoming one of the most promising acts in country music.
It didn’t take long for him to blossom into a full-blown superstar. By 2004, he was rattling off No. 1 hits at a George Strait-like pace.
Urban is special because he’s so versatile. A talented singer-songwriter and one of country music’s very best modern guitarists, he’s known for pushing boundaries, trying new things and choosing a wide array of duet partners who can go toe-to-toe with him vocally.
Collaborations with Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood make this list of Keith Urban’s all-time best songs, but another with Eric Church just misses. Ripcord, Graffiti U and his High album represented on this list, but our very favorite Urban song of all time is one that came out more than two decades ago!
