Download or read book Keith Urban written by Greg Bach and published by Mason Crest Publishers. This book was released on 2020-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Keith Urban's entry onto the tough-to-penetrate Nashville music scene at the end of the 20th century came in a flurry of chart-grabbing hits. The first of these was his song "Your Everything", and it sparkled brightest among the quartet of hits he had swarming the Billboard charts for the first time in his career. The beautifully delivered song, which showcased just a portion of his immense talent, lifted him from the debris of disappointments and setbacks that had been piling up around his musical journey and moved him along on his way to superstardom. "Your Everything" touched souls, melted hearts, and caught the attention of a hard-to-impress music industry. It peaked at No. 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, settled in at No. 51 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, and in north of the border, resided at No. 20 on the Canadian Country Tracks chart. It became Urban's first song to make the top five on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart and he made history by becoming the first artist ever to be born in New Zealand and follow up with a Top 10 hit in the United States. "Your Everything" was the fourth of a dozen tracks on Urban's self-titled debut U.S. album. It received nonstop play across America's radio dials and the well-deserved praise for the song just kept flowing from fans and music critics everywhere. Plus, it became a staple for newlyweds to dance to while celebrating their nuptials, thanks to its powerfully soothing, feel-good vibe. Along with "Your Everything", three other singles off Urban's album sailed onto the charts: "It's a Love Thing" reached No. 18, "Where the Blacktop Ends" got all the way to No. 3, and "But for the Grace of God" rocketed to No. 1 to become his first chart topper in a career that would see many more. No surprise, the album went platinum, the first of many that would achieve that status in the coming years too. For Urban, it was a marvelous breakthrough that ignited the career of one of the greatest country musicians of this era. It all began with "Your Everything", which led to his much-dreamed-about arrival in Music City, also known as Nashville, a place where he truly belongs"--
Download or read book Keith Urban written by Jeff Apter and published by Citadel Press. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this definitive biography of Keith Urban, music biographer Jeff Apter presents the legendary Australian country star turned international superstar whose career spans the Nashville music scene, American Idol, The Voice, and much more, including the highs and lows along the way. Keith Urban came from humble origins. His father worked at the local landfill and Keith was a high school dropout. But Keith had a plan: conquer Nashville. “It’s my destiny,” he said. And Keith was hell-bent on scaling that musical Everest. Whatever it took. It didn’t come easy. Keith served his apprenticeship in the beer barns of Australia, and his early trips to America were disastrous. But he never gave up, settling in Nashville in the 1990s and forming The Ranch. When the band fell apart, so did Keith, ending up in rehab (not for the last time). But Keith did eventually reach the top, through a combination of talent, charisma, sex appeal, dogged perseverance—and skin thick enough for a rhino. And along the way he married Nicole Kidman. As Keith has said, “All those detours, the really dark ones, got me to where I am now. I would not want to change one leaf on any tree in the whole journey.” Keith Urban is the definitive biography of an international superstar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A born storyteller, Troy Cassar-Daley has at last turned his talent to sharing his own inspiring life. `Troy?s achievements are many, and perhaps the finest may be his ability to make us listen to his heart.? Joy McKean For the first time, Troy talks about his early life - how his parent?s divorce changed things for him, about missing his Dad and growing up in Grafton surrounded by the warmth and love of his mother, Irene, his Nan and Pop and his extended Indigenous family. A larrikin at heart, Troy includes all the highs and lows on his path to stardom: the thrill of performing on stage at the Tamworth Music Festival with Jimmy Little when he was just 15; the excitement of heading off on tour with Brian Young and then discovering just how lonely life on the road could be; his first record deal; playing with the greats ? Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Slim Dusty; his first album Beyond the Dancing, which blended his indigenous heritage with his rural background; meeting the woman who would steal his heart; recording in Nashville; and, finally, releasing True Believer, the album that really launched his career. The multiple Golden Guitar, APRA, ARIA and Deadlys winner also lets us in on some of the life lessons he learned the hard way, lessons that kept this prodigiously talented Aussie on the straight and narrow (most of the time). Things I Carry Around, is the warm, genuine, and inspiring story of a young indigenous Australian who had a dream and turned that dream into reality. `Troy?s a true gentleman, warm and genuine, always a pleasure to be around. He sings straight from his heart and straight from the heart of his country.? Paul Kelly
