Identify the artist
Broad clue
A male country singer and guitarist.
Background
Born in Whangarei, New Zealand, in 1967.
Recording clue
His 2002 album is The Golden Road; his first Grammy recognised “You’ll Think of Me”.
Reveal answer
- Keith Urban
Why the answer fits
Keith Urban connects all three clues: country music, a New Zealand birthplace and The Golden Road. His first Grammy was in the male country vocal performance category for “You’ll Think of Me”.
Be careful with debut-year feedback: the Recording Academy describes his 1999 self-titled album specifically as his solo debut in the United States. That does not mean it was his first recording anywhere. Likewise, birthplace and the game’s nationality category need not mean the same thing; use the actual feedback shown in your game.
