Keith Urban: The Golden Road Interview — From the Vault Pt. 1

Before this was a wine show, Forrest Kelly was behind the mic at a major radio station — and one afternoon, Keith Urban stopped in to promote Golden Road. This is that conversation, straight from the vault.

In Part 1, Keith laughs through a surprise call to a bed-and-breakfast in his hometown of Caboolture, Australia (where the locals are more sure about the Crocodile Hunter than the future superstar), talks about flying his mum and dad over for the CMAs, and admits the Aussie beers he still misses back in the States. He opens up about the Farmhand drought-relief broadcast beamed to Australia via satellite, his love of Farm Aid and Willie Nelson, and where his best song ideas tend to strike — the shower. Plus a caller phones in about the Somebody Like You video with Niki Taylor. A warm, funny, genuine snapshot of Keith Urban on the rise.
