Jon and Richie are songwriters and thats what the country scene is all about. Simple rock songs with a hook and twang... Maybe with a producer like Bob Rock, they could add additional elements...

Actually, I agree with this. Nashville is far more welcoming than pop/rock radio to established artists.
As far as "Boy Gets a Truck" by Keith Urban, I think it sounds like Luke Bryan Bro-Country reject that some record exec decided Keith should record (since it's one of the songs on the album he didn't write/co-write) because he doesn't do Bro Country and it's a piece of crap and I would hate for anyone to listen to it and think it's a typical Keith song. He's way more talented than THAT. Listen to Break on Me or Wasted Time instead.
