Hit: 5 Stars
18 Kids is a beautiful work of art 8 years in the making.
The album kicks off with a casual cover of Steve Forbert's Romeo's Tune. This extremely catchy rhythm features a piano, one of the many instruments Urban can play. The second track is a remake of one of the songs off of his Love, Pain & The Whole Crazy Thing album, Got It Right This Time (The Celebration). This is my personal favorite on the entire album. He took this simple song and transformed it into just what the title indicates, a celebration. It starts out with just a keyboard, a drum machine, and vocals. Then electric guitar, percussion, and background vocals for harmony eventually join in. As each part comes in and adds to the song, it gradually builds up leading to a huge explosion of melody. The joy and happiness that this song is about is portrayed perfectly through the music, making it an instant hit and one of the best tracks on the album.
The next 16 tracks are a nice mix of billboard chart toppers. The entire album touches on a wide range of emotions. Listen to mind blowing guitar solos as in Stupid Boy, the soothing sound of solo piano in Tonight I Wanna Cry, a Celtic sounding I Told You So, the love ballad Making Memories Of Us, country-rock themes such as Days Go By, Somebody Like You, and Better Life, progressive rolling upbeat numbers such as Where The Blacktop Ends and Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me, and more!
As if this wasn't reason enough to love this album, the album case itself is quite a treat. The insert booklet is full of colorful photos of Keith, including all the covers of his albums and a few from his adolescence while the back of the booklet includes a personal message from him. Instead of the usual jewel case, the CD comes in a paper board cover that folds open to reveal some amazing photos of the entertainer taken from his latest tour. The paper board is at least 30% recycled material to help preserve the environment!
Overall, this album is superb! The lyrics of these songs are so simple yet they strike so deeply with many people. The passion that Keith Urban puts into his music really shows.

While there is only one new song on the CD, there are 17 other songs that have been big hits for the country mega-star.
I have a problem with most greatest hits CDs. If you are a fan of the performer, you buy their CDs as they come out and, as in this case, you have all the songs without buying the compilation. However, on the special edition CD, Urban has included a second disk with 12 videos in DVD format that make this an excellent collection - and worth the money.
If you are new to Keith Urban music, the CD shows off his amazing talents as a singer, songwriter and guitarist. This is definitely his best ballads mixed in with his best rock on one CD and watching the videos will give the newcomer a great chance to see why he keeps selling out venues and is nominated for CMA Entertainer of the Year.
Urban explains that the CD title refers to the fact that the songs he has included he thinks of as his children; songs that he has nurtured in the recording studio and on stage and listening to them you get it. He is about the music and the sincerity and love comes through on each and every track. Let's hope he continues to grow and add to the family!

Keith Urban is the most talented guy in the country business, i'm only fan of female country singers but Keith is the exception, i love his songs because he's not like some others country singers that only talk about girls and drinks, he actually sing about real stuffs and true feelings.

Hit: 5 Stars
Keith Urban is a man who know what it is like to be in love, on top-of-the-world happy, or lonely, with no where to turn. It has been a struggle to get where he is today, no slick/canned talent here....just pure emotion and musical ability. Keith is certainly a man to keep your eye on, this guy is going places, more than he possibly ever dreamed.
I was privileged to attend my first Keith Urban concert 11/1/07, and he took the audience through the whole realm of feelings. These are songs to live your life to, to dance to, sing along with, fall in love to. I know I have.
It is wonderful to have all my favorite Keith songs handy in one CD. While you're at it, go ahead and get the CD/DVD combo. What a great deal for all that music plus fantastic videos.
I ordered mine through Keith's fan club presale, so I had it in my hands before it even hit the store shelves.
This man has so much talent, it is amazing.
Wish there were more than just 5 stars to vote with here, I would sure add a few.
And what better gift for those music fans on your list?
