Because I do a lot of layering of guitar parts, it’s intricate and that stuff just takes time. Of course it depends on the song. Some songs can take a couple of weeks to come together and be completely finished.”   Until the meanwhile, you can catch “Sweet Thing,” or Urban’s collaboration with Brad Paisley, “Start a Band” on a radio near you.
