The exceptionally talented Contemporary Country artist Keith Urban has released him CD entitled In The Ranch. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Keith Urban fans, and Contemporary Country fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of In The Ranch Keith Urban's artistic excellence is on full display as Urban has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that's exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it's own.

In The Ranch is a pleasantly varied, mix of 14 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They're all here.

Listen to this CD and I believe you'll find there's not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and Keith Urban is clearly in top form. So much so that if you're even mildly into Contemporary Country music you'll enjoy this album.

While the entire album is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 2 - Homespun Love, track 4 - Some Days You Gotta Dance, and track 8 - Hank Don't Fail Me Now.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 11 - Man Of The House. This is a great track!
