Sly Keith Urban

Just because you add a banjo to your songs doesn't make you Country, and Keith Urban is no Country singer. But this isn't a hate rant. Urban is sly. Add a little twang, a little banjo and get Country radio play. What Urban has done in the last few years is become a picture perfect pop singer who happens to chart Country. So, his Greatest Hits is a much needed document of his style. 18 songs and most damn catchy. Even the ballads. I've heard it said that the problem with Urban is that he has nothing to say. Just sings his hooky hits and moves on. But do we always need to think, can't we be entertained? Urban knows his stuff, and once Country radio stops playing his songs he'll move to the Pop charts.
