I got hit with a snow/ice storm this past Sunday...it's been quite fun.  But I've had more time to listen to music.  I'm currently listening to Keith Urban's Get Closer CD, which was released on November 16 of last year...being a Georgia girl, I HAD to listen to "Georgia Woods" first...wow.  I LOVE this song!  "Put You In A Song" is the current single...which definitely sounds radio friendly...but "Georgia Woods" seems to have a lot more harmony and soul.  Lyrics from "Georgia Woods":

What kind of spell is this
That you've cast on me with your kiss
It's like I've lost all control of my senses
It's just not like me, to give in so easily
And dropping my thought and I'm leaving my heart defenseless
Oh, but I'm feelin good here beneath the pines of the Georgia woods

Chorus:
And what a surprise, hear by my side
It's more than a full moonshine and it's driving me crazy
I waited so long, something is strong
And now I gotta be fallin cuz I'm already callin you baby

"All For You" is just amazing...I like that it's a ballad...there aren't enough ballads on country radio...and the lyrics fit so well with the music.  It ends lovely...this would play very well at radio, I think.  I predict "Long Hot Summer" will be released as a single around May and most likely do very well throughout the summer...most summer themed songs do very well.  I love the banjo on "Without You"...I wish Keith would sing more songs like this, plain and simple, with few instruments.  Truly beautiful...my favorite song on the album.  "Shut Out The Lights" is a well crafted song as well...you can hear the emotion in his voice. 
 
Coming soon, a review of The Grascals and Friends from Cracker Barrel.
