Keith Urban threw together an amazing collaboration when he played the Stagecoach festival last weekend. He brought up Brothers Osborne, who had played earlier in the day, and the legendary Dwight Yoakam to perform Dwight’s 1993 hit “Fast as You.”

He went back and forth via text with Brothers Osborne on what artist and song to cover. They decided on Dwight and “Fast as You.” He said the collaboration came together quite quickly once they heard Dwight was at Stagecoach. “One of the guys in the band said to me, ‘I think Dwight’s playing Stagecoach.’ I’m like, ‘No. No he’s not.’ And they said, ‘Yeah, yeah. On a different stage,’” says Keith. “So, I went, ‘Well, if he is, we’ve got to get him up there.’ I get a hold of his number from a friend of mine. I text him out of the blue, ‘Hey! It’s Keith Urban,’ like he doesn’t know who I am, ‘Would you sit in with us?’ He’s like, ‘I’d be honored. That’d be great.’ So, I say, ‘Okay. Here’s what we’re gonna do. We’re gonna do ‘Fast as You.’ I’m not gonna announce you. You just need to come up halfway through the song and just own it.’ And he came out and so Dwighted it. It was fantastic. John Osborne, TJ and me, we’re all just kids in a candy store right then. It was so, so awesome for us.”

Keith was inspired by Dwight, not only by his music, but also his fashion. “I told Dwight, ‘I hate saying this, Dwight, but I have a publicity picture of me from 1990 where I’ve got tight stonewashed jeans with Conchos all up the side of my pants and a Bolero type suit jacket with the bolo tie and the snakeskin boots, I’ve got it all going on. I’m Dwighting it to the hilt. [laughs] And when we played with him on stage, somebody took the best picture of us, and I sent it to my buddy in Australia and I said, ‘Check this out! Can you believe this happened?’ ‘Cause we’re still fans. We’re such fans, you know?”

Keith is making his way up the country charts with his latest song, “Coming Home,” which is from his new album, Graffiti U.
