[Keith Urban has always praised LB. This is a comment from the March 29, 2009 USA Today]

Urban peppers discussions of music with references to other records — the mandolin part on one song that recalls Rod Stewart's Maggie May, the harmony guitar on another that reminds him of Queen's Brian May. He quotes Waylon Jennings hits in his conversations and Dire Straits lyrics in his songs (Sweet Thing's reference to a "lovestruck Romeo" is straight from Straits' Romeo & Juliet).

And there's always lots of Lindsey Buckingham. The Fleetwood Mac guitarist "is my favorite mad scientist," Urban says. "On Standing Right in Front of You, the little B section before the chorus has an acoustic guitar thing that was very much inspired by Fleetwood Mac's Hold Me."
