Keith Urban’s upcoming album will have a duet with Lainey Wilson, which is now heating up the country charts called “Go Home With You.” Keith posted a behind the scenes clip of the making of the new song on Instagram.

Urban said in the clip that the song was originally not supposed to be a duet, but a friend suggested it would make a good duet. He said in part, “I already had Lainey on my radar to do something with her because I love her voice and her vibe. She was perfect.”

He added while listening to one of her parts on the track, “When she hit it, it just became this whole other thing.”

Keith captioned the video clip, “@laineywilson took this one to another level.”

Urban is a guitar master and member of the Nashville Songwriting Hall of Fame; however, he failed music class in high school.

Before his CMA Fest performance a few weeks ago, Keith told us about a special teacher he had in high school that made a difference in his life.

He explained, “I was very lucky to have a great music education program in Australia growing up, just in state schools. You know, basic state schools always had music class. It was a basic room, piano, and a few little instruments floating around.”

Urban said, “I had a great teacher; her name was Mrs. Groomer. She was my music teacher in the tenth grade, and she was amazing. She was a great teacher because I couldn’t read music, I couldn’t write music, and I didn’t have any theory. It’s just all by ear.”

He continued, “She tried to put together something where the curriculum wasn’t just based on theory. Because she was looking at several kids in our class, and several of us were going to fail music, she actually wrote us a play. It was called ‘Music Is As Music Was,’ and it was about the history of music.”

“She said, ‘I’ll write a country song because this guy loves country music. ‘This guy loves punk, so we’re gonna talk about punk. And they’ll all perform this, and it’ll be great.’ The school was okay with it, so we did this performance. Then the school changed its mind and said it wasn’t part of the curriculum, so we all failed, and she quit. She was like, ‘This is crazy and makes no sense. ‘”

He concluded with a smile, “So that kind of passion and caring from the teacher is extraordinary.”
