“It’s just being in the zone, isn’t it,” Keith Urban answers when asked what being in a flow state means to him and why he used the term as the title for his new album of yacht rock covers. “It’s that beautiful dichotomy of completely present and completely lost to the moment, where you’re a participant and observer so perfectly balanced that you’re neither.”

That ultra-Zen description might not be how many folks would identify listening to the 10 remakes of classic soft rock tunes from the ‘70s and one original on Flow State, available now, but hear Urban out and it starts to make a little more sense. “We have the want to have this feeling in common: Blue skies and a little bit of a breeze and no worries, man,” he continues. “We all want to have just a moment of exhale. I think everybody wants that at some point in their day, their life.”
To be sure, listening to Urban’s tasty versions of such tunes as Seals & Crofts‘ “Summer Breeze,” Player’s “Baby Come Back,” Stephen Bishop’s “On & On” and Ambrosia’s “How Much I Feel” is sure to lower anyone’s blood pressure.
