Description: Golden Road is the third commercially released studio album by Australian country singer Keith Urban. It was released in 2002 via Capitol Records Nashville. The album includes the singles "Somebody Like You", "Raining on Sunday", "Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me" and "You'll Think of Me".

Three of the album's four singles went to number one on the Hot Country Songs charts: "Somebody Like You", "Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me" and "You'll Think of Me". "Raining on Sunday" was originally recorded by Radney Foster on the 1998 album See What You Want to See, with a backing vocal from Darius Rucker of Hootie & the Blowfish. Urban's version of the song peaked at number three on Hot Country Songs in early 2003. "Jeans On" is a cover of the Lord David Dundas song.
Urban co-produced tracks 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 11 with Dann Huff and produced the rest of the album himself.
"You Look Good in My Shirt" was originally slated to be the album's fifth single, but Capitol chose instead to release a single from a new album; despite the withdrawal of the song, it charted at number 60 from unsolicited airplay. Urban re-recorded this song in 2008 for the compilation album Greatest Hits: 19 Kids and released this version as a single in 2008. The re-recorded version was also a number-one single that year.
