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
Nick (Queens, NY United States)

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.
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.

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.

Keith Urban is one of the most talented musician-singer-songwriters to come along in a long time. This album is truly addicting. Every song could easily be a top 10 hit.
If you get the chance to catch him live, do it. He's an amazing live performer. His love and enthusiasm for music shines through.

Aussie rock-country is the freshest, hippest kick-butt music besides Rascal Flatts happening out there now. Regardless of what the critics say, fans can hear this guy's incredible talent exploding into superstardom. Keith promises this on his song "Whenever I Run" where he tells us what's happening to him right here and now where he sings "the best is yet to come". I'm a believer. "You're Not Along Tonight" is just gorgeous with the harmonies that get you in the gut. I love the unique little catch in his terrific voice. He is great on "Song for Dad" and heartbreaking on "Raining on Sunday" with the aching harmonies.Urban has outrageous mojo working for him. He has a cool name, a gorgeous Star quality look and that super hip international vibe working for him like fellow Aussie Hugh Jackman. The guitar work throughout the entire CD is outrageous. "What About Me" is telling us to pay attention to him. On "You'll Think of Me" and "You Look Good in my Shirt" the percussion is smokin'. In fact, this entire CD is smokin'.
