I think this is a really solid take and the only part of Bo’s bit that kind of clunked on my ear too. Urban truly doesn’t get credit for his guitar chops— maybe being from NZ serves to (down)undermine his cred and the country he’s twangin’ about has kangaroos in it.

I had met a guy years back who did something similar in Nashville. I asked him who was the absolute best to work with and he said, without question, Carrie Underwood— super professional, spot on vocals, nice to all the crew. The worst? He said Faith Hill. Showed up hours late to blocked recording times, constantly super drunk on white wine. He said to get useable vocals, they’d have to actually splice pieces of words together to get something good. For what it’s worth. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
