Born in New Zealand and raised in Australia, Keith Urban is one of country music's biggest superstars and most talented musicians. His well earned reputation as a premier songwriter, vocalist, and virtuoso guitarist ranks him among the music industry's elite no matter the genre. Urban took his career to another level with the Grammy-nominated Be Here which bossed the years 2004-2005 by going quadruple platinum in the US and smashing the record books in his homeland. While he'd already become a country music phenomenon by this time thanks to strong showings with his Keith Urban and Golden Road albums, he displays a true artistry here juxtaposing more serious material like Rodney Crowell's "Making Memories of Us" with the romantic and breezy "You're My Better Half."
