Keith Urban 'John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16' Review: New Single is Summery, Personal Ahead of 'Fuse' Follow-Up

Pulling in a vocal style that's rather reminiscent of Rob Thomas, Urban keeps it casual on this new track as he moves through all the different ways he can express himself, name checking everyone from Don McLean to Ernest Hemingway to John Wayne and Superman.

"I'm the child of backseat freedom / Baptized by rock 'n' roll / Marilyn Monroe and the Garden of Eden / Never grow up, and never grow old," Urban sings in the chorus. "Just another rebel in the great wide open / On the boulevard of broken dreams / And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16."

It's a personal look into all of the different aspects of Urban's personality, set to a melody that's less raw country and more adult contemporary easy-listening rock. Just in time for summer, this song can easily be swayed to on the beach while sippin' on a cool Bud Light.
