KEITH URBAN TO RECORD "YACHT ROCK" COVERS ALBUM

Keith Urban To Record “Yacht Rock” Covers Album

Keith Urban‘s next album will be a covers album…and, perhaps surprisingly, it won’t be country covers. While at Country Radio Seminar on Thursday, Urban explained what his next project will be. “It’s the first time I’ve ever done an album of covers. There is one original on the record. It’s a thematic record: yacht rock songs. You think I’m kidding, I’m not kidding…Am I terrified? Absolutely.” For those that don’t know, “yacht rock” is a softer rock that was largely popular from the mid 70s to the early 80s – think AmbrosiaChristopher Cross, the Little River Band, etc. One band you probably won’t hear on the album: Player (“Baby Come Back”), who famously sued Keith in 2015, claiming his Player line of guitars and accessories amounted to copyright infringement (the suit was dismissed). No word on when the album would be released.
