Nashville's always been known as a "ten year town," meaning that it takes artists 10 years from the time they get to Nashville before they have any real level of success.

But now we're living in a time when singers can post a video on TikTok, have it go viral, and all of a sudden they have a record deal and are opening for whichever tour their label can get them on.

With a career spanning over 30 years, Keith Urban used his time in the spotlight to create a career that continues today. Outside of marrying Nicole Kidman and working with stars like Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Carrie Underwood, and Eric Church, the country star also released 11 studio albums. As he prepares for the release of his new album High in September, it appears that Urban once took the stage for a special performance alongside both Chris Stapleton and Vince Gill. Even with Urban sharing countless memorable moments over the years, few compare to listening to the trio showcasing their talents on the guitar.

The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

One of the things that sets country music apart from other genres of music is the regularity at which artists release cover songs. For instance, in the ‘70s it was normal to see multiple artists cut the same song within months of one another. Today, many artists dip into the vast collection of songs from the past or tap expert songsmiths to get their material. Sometimes, it’s obvious that songs are secondhand. However, there are plenty of country songs from top artists that some listeners don’t know are covers.
