## Resource

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. Why are so many artists canceling tours for mental health reasons? Email staff@tasteofcountry.com. Also mentioned: Lainey Wilson, Tim McGraw, Justin Moore, Bill Cody and more.
