SOURCE:http://www.nucountry.com.au/articles/diary/february2005/200205_willienelson_update.htm Urban's in-depth interview with Ray Martin on Nine Network show A Current Affair on Friday February 18 was an oasis in the country music desert. The much-maligned TV host has the depth of knowledge of the importance of Urban and country music in the big picture. Martin worked in the U.S. long before country was cool and is well aware of just how much the genre is part of the American fabric. He is also hip to the popularity of the genre here in the unlucky radio country despite the boycott by mainstream radio. And, unlike they grizzled, grey haired geriatric grinches who sneer at huge success of our younger artists - here and overseas - he is supportive of his peers SUBJECTS SPOKEN ABOUT: Keith being nominated for Grammy awards and just missing out.. Keiths huge success in the States Keith being able to walk freely in Australia and the differences from here to America A very exceptional interview, as Keith was to embark on his Australian tour Also showed Keith's first appearance on the Ray Martin midday show
