Country Carol Countdown: #2 Walking in a Winter Wonderland – Keith Urban

OK, be honest with me. When is the last time you heard a Christmas Carol with a riff from Sweet Home Alabama thrown in for good measure? There’s only one entertainer alive who can pull off a stunt like that and make it sound absolutely natural and exceedingly stylish at the same time.

Keith Urban is a guitar legend, a man who grasped at a second chance in life and rode it to the very pinnacle of country music greatness.  And along the way he seems to be having more pure fun than the law allows, sitting on some steps in Nashville, jamming with a couple of buddies…and the result is pretty close to perfect.
