Album 2 for the Aussie transplant and former member of the Ranch kicks harder than his debut and fulfills Keith Urban's goal of capturing the elusive "band feel." The solid arrangements are particularly well tailored to Darryl Brown's ruptured romance ballad "You Think of Me" and the swampy "You Look Good in My Shirt." Urban catches fire lyrically on the moving "Song for Dad" and "What About Me," a cautionary view of selflessness he cowrote with Rodney Crowell. That, unfortunately, is as good as it gets. While the Ranch enjoyed a cult following, Urban, who should bring an idiosyncratic side to his music, is clearly out to play Nashville's game. Proof? A preponderance of bland material aimed at pleasing radio consultants and programmers. Consider his original "You're Not Alone Tonight," replete with harmonies used on countless country hits of recent past. True, a banjo occasionally surfaces throughout the album. Nonetheless, reviving David Dunda's 1976 Top 20 pop hit "Jeans On" reveals much about Urban's true musical roots. --Rich Kienzle

Can Anyone Say Best Male Country Vocalist? January 10, 2005
37 out of 39 found this review helpful
Keith Urban's "Golden Road" is the first cd I bought from a male country artist. It is AMAZING!!! Here is how I rate each song on the album (in a 5 star scale):
1) "Somebody Like You"- great song, nice instrumentals, lengthy and it spent 6 weeks at the top of the country charts. (5 stars)
2) "Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me"- one of my favorite uptempo songs ever. This song instantly made me a fan of Keith's. (5 stars)
3) Whenever I Run- I love this ballad song in the album. (5 stars)
4) What About Me- Nice song, co-written by Rodney Crowell. (5 stars)
5) You'll Think of Me- Great song about overcoming a breakup. The chorus is very catchy as well. I hope this song wins in the upcoming Grammy Awards. This song sounds awesome acoustic in concert. (5 stars)
6) Jeans On- Neat pop song on this album about jeans are a major part of Keith's life. Funny. Interesting beat. (5 stars)
7) You Look Good In My Shirt- This is such a great, fun midtempo song. You'll definitely like it. (5 stars)
8) You're Not Alone Tonight- My second favorite song on the album. Very soothing, calm, relaxing and re-assuring that whenever you are facing hard times you are not alone; there is a person in your life that will be there for you no matter what. Has nice imagery (ex: angels and muses) making it even more creative. (5 stars!!!)
9) You Won- Another song Keith co-wrote with Rodney Crowell. This one took longer to get used to, but I eventually liked it. hehe.(4 stars)
10) Song for Dad- AMAZING!!!!! The best song on "Golden Road" and probably one of my favorite male country vocal performances ever. Proves Keith is an excellent songwriter, musician and instrumentalist. Speaks about how influential his father is to him and how much he looks up to him as a role model. Should've been released as a single. This song is worth the price of the cd. Well done Keith! 6/5 stars!!!!)
11) Raining on Sunday- Great song about the things one may do when it is a boring, rainy Sunday. Starts out slow but the song builds up into an awesome ballad. (5 stars)
12) You're Not My God- A very powerful song about overcoming addiction and how several things in life should be used in moderation, cause too much is bad (ex: money and alcohol). (5 stars)
13) One Chord Song- Bonus Song one may hear upon fastforwarding the ending of the previous song. A good conclusion to this album. Shows Keith's voice being backed up with only one chord of "G" hehe. Funny Song. (5 stars)
Overall Rating: 5 stars!!!! Your CD collection is NOT complete without a copy of Keith Urban's "Golden Road." It is worth every penny.
Another Great Album by this Great Singer December 28, 2003

All i have to say is I have had this cd for months now and it is still in my cd player... I have only taken it out a few times.. that was to put in his other cd's.
I now have a 5 disc changer and all 4 of his are in there with the Jimmy Wayne cd in there as well. This cd is awesome. The tracks go from upbeat and uplifting to those great old sad love songs. His writing on this album is award worthy. I only wished U.S. awards shows would get off it and give him an award. He was said to be Favorite New Artist by Country Weekly which I kinda don't understand since it's his 3rd u.s. Album (2nd solo). GREAT CD.. Run,DON'T WALK and get to your fave cd store and get this. I had to buy the cd again because the first one wore out. KEITH..THANK YOU FOR A GREAT ALBUM. I EVEN CHANGED MY EMAIL ADDRESS TO GOLDEN-ROAD@ I love this cd..love love love. ONE THING.. ALL country artists have to make a better effert to get to New England! In particular NH.
Keith Urban... Golden Road.. wonderful CD December 12, 2002

This Cd is one of the best Cds I have heard. It blends together the three wonderful talents Keith has; playing music, singing, and songwriting, and brings entertainment all at the same time. If your not a big country fan, take a listen and I'm sure you'll be converted. Keith has his own distinct way of blending "rock n roll" guitar with "country" banjo and making it sound better than ever before. Not to mention the wonderful songs. This album is like going to a therapy session if you are depressed, it brings your mood up and energizes you while your listening. "You'll Think Of Me" puts a new meaning to normally sad break up songs, and "Your Not Alone Tonight" is very inspiring. While other songs such as "You Look Good In My Shirt", "Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me" and a great remake of "Jeans On" will leave you energized and ready for more... And there are more! 12 songs make this Cd lengthy and very much worth your money.
One of my all time favorite CD's August 19, 2005

This is an excellent CD. It is fun to dance to, sing to, and drive to. It doesn't matter if you like country music or not-you can enjoy Keith Urban's music. Even better than his CD's are his live shows. Well worth the ticket price and one of the best concerts you will see.
Glimpses of Country Greatness! November 19, 2005

Not typically a country music fan, I was initially reeled in by Urban's Australian citizenship and curious to check out how he'd managed to captivate the diehard C&W fans. After listening to the assortment of great tracks on this CD, I understood his universal appeal.
Definitely listener-friendly music for diverse audiences and gives great insight into the country/pop sensation he quickly became! A great introduction for new fans.
