Keith Urban "Kiss The Rain Goodbye"

I have just come across another absolute gem from the unreleased files of Keith Urban.This track was put down somewhere in the early 90's by the sound of it. His voice has the same quality as in "I Got It Bad" which was on Keith's  "1991" album.If it was in fact recorded with the same people as GIB,it was drums, Peter Clarke,bass,Peter Blyton,slide,Kirk Lorange, backing vocals,Rick Price andPeter Blyton and of course Keith on guitars and backing vocals.

"Kiss The Rain" is raw,but we can still pick up Keith's unmistakable laugh at the end of the second verse.
I can picture him hunched over his guitar,totally absorbed in the song shaking his head side to side in time with the beat like we have seen him do time and time again and still does today.

Although Keith is more mature now his early music set the ground work for the most awesome performer I have ever had the pleasure of listening to.Keith has been requested to sing some of these very early songs at small live performances but has declined due to the fact he has not sung some of them for over 15 years.

I have had KTRG on repeat for about 15 hours now,love this song and the visions it brings to mind.
Take a listen and tell me what you think.
