Down Under Cowboy

NZ-born Keith Urban has been dubbed the new face of country music in the US. With his chiselled good looks, tattoos, and relatively loose jeans, Urban is doing for c&w blokes what Shania Twain and the Dixie Chicks did for the image of his female counterparts. The 35-year-old has two No.1 country hits to his name, not to mention several other top 5 singles and two top 10 country albums with sales approaching one million each, which also make the top 20 in the mainstream pop charts. Next up is a tour of Australia with LeAnn Rimes and a song-writing collaboration with Jimmy Web and Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty.
