Keith Urban + the Real Reason He Recorded a Yacht Rock Album, Plus Tyler Braden and Darius Rucker

Keith Urban joins Evan Paul to talk about ‘Flow State,’ his new album of yacht rock covers and originals. Inspiration for the project came from a very unexpected source: construction. It’s always a blessing when Keith visits and this conversation is just as fun as you’d expect. This week’s new artist interview is (8:02) Tyler Braden, who is preparing a European tour after dropping “My Americana” earlier in 2026. For a throwback we’re revisiting (19:27) Darius Rucker’s in studio visit from 2023. Billy Dukes (34:07) also joins to talk about the week in country music.
