I remember Keith and Nicole attended one of the UTS shows. I think it was the first one in Atlanta, but am not positive about that. People magazine noted that they were there.

They were at the show in Nashville at the Ryman.

Ooh, I really like his music. I got into this country kick a year or so and he's definitely one of those that I enjoy. Good on him to have great taste as well!

I have a real thin border on the country front. I love Lone Justice and really enjoyed Little Big Town, but really don't like the you-can-eat-crackers-in-my-bed-anytime-baby kinda stuff. I'm gonna give Keith a listen. Just goes to show, doing press does really bring you more fans!

It truly does!

I think my favorite country will always be down to Johnny Cash and Hank Williams. But I really, really love the Dixie Chicks, Shania, Carlene Carter, Shelby Lynne...I am absolutely not a big country music fan, but I think that a lot of it can be really fun and pretty deep...I'd suggest any of the ones I mentioned (get the greatest hits, what the hell).

Thanks for the tips!!!

The cool thing about Keith (besides the fact he likes Lindsey) is that he mixes country, rock and pop. He grew up listening to not just country, but John Mellencamp, Dire Straits, AC/DC, etc. so he has many various influences. It gives him a unique sound, IMO, along with the fact he's Australian, so his accent allows him to sing differently than your average American country singer.

Golden Road, Be Here and from what I've heard, the album out tomorrow are MUST haves. Hope you enjoy Keith!

For a good idea of what Keith is like buy the "Love, Pain & the whole crazy World Tour" DVD. It was only $9.99 at WalMart and worth 3 times that. Plus, his concert tickets for the last tour were less than half of FM's price. Unbelievable energy in concert!

but it was one Debbie pre-ordered before the obvious happened. I watched it the day I picked it up at the store and I felt sad that she didnt get to enjoy it...Thus I havent watched it since...

Debbie dragged me (Literally, because at that time I thought KU was a flash-in-the-pan 'pretty boy') to see him at the Oklahoma State Fair in early Sept. 2001, when he was still somewhat unknown (Which is why this general admission show was only $7 and we sat front row - not many people knew who this guy was, but Debbie did, she was ALL over his music). I went just to get out of the house on a Sunday evening, and believe it or not I was shocked that he could play the hell outta the guitar - DEFINITELY not something a "flash-in-the-pan 'pretty boy' " would do, and he played the whole show without using a pick - just finger picking ala Knopfler/Linds'.

After that show I been a fan ever since...the rest is history.



p.s. - Debbie "made" me purchase a keychain off of eBay with a nude KU from his "Playgirl" photo-shoot...Don't ask

Hahaha. So many great stories in the world of music fandom. But all the media ever portrays are stalkers! Although I'm a little concerned about the p.s. (not!)
