'70s Music Legend Who Sang Some of Yacht Rock's Biggest Hits Debuts New Soft-Rock Song With Keith Urban: 'Sounds Amazing' ...Saudi Arabia

The country crooner has a soft spot for the ’70s-inspired music genre and is set to release a new album on June 12, 2026, containing almost exclusively Yacht Rock covers. Urban gave fans a preview of his breezy, stripped-down takes on some of the best-known soft-rock tunes of the 1970s at CMA Fest in Nashville this weekend, but it was a duet with a ’70s music legend that completely stole the show.
