Not sure what's happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Golden Road gets. Golden Road simply stated is one of Keith Urban's best CDs to date.

Golden Road literally grabs your attention right from the very beginning with Somebody Like You and doesn't let go until the very last note of the very last song You're Not My God, which by the way is another great track.

These days it's a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.

Another reviewer echoed my own sentiments when he wrote, "Considering that Keith Urban grew up in New Zealand and cultivates an image that's more Kelly Clarkson than Roy Clark, one might be tempted to doubt his abilities when it comes to Nashville hit making. On GOLDEN ROAD, however, Urban delivers a solid set of contemporary country with more panache and chops than many of his American-born, cowboy-hatted contemporaries."

Overall Golden Road is outstanding from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Country fan. Really spectacular from beginning to end.

While the entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 - Who Wouldn't Want To Be Me, track 5 - You'll Think Of Me, and track 10 - Song For Dad

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 7 - You Look Good In My Shirt. Good stuff!
