Keith Urban’s House Party-Party

This week’s co-host Keith Urban has a couple connections to the #1 song: “House Party” by Sam Hunt.  First of all, one of the writers is Keith’s bass player Jerry Flowers.  Keith told Country Countdown USA’s Lon Helton: “”He’s had a publishing deal for 11 years, and this is his first #1 song.  When he played it for me, I knew it was a #1 song. Hands down. It’s got all the right things.”

Keith’s other connection is that Sam wrote Keith’s hit “Cop Car.”  Keith said, “Sam is a gifted songwriter, but he’s got this voice that’s magical.  He sounds completely original.  He’s the perfect guy to bridge everything now.  He’s an artist of his time, so no wonder he’s having massive success right now.”
