Be Here is the fourth studio album by New Zealand-born Australian country singer Keith Urban. It was released in the US on September 21, 2004 via Capitol Nashville. With four million copies sold, the album is not only Keith's best-selling album, but also one of the best-selling albums in America by an Australian artist.
The album produced three number 1 singles on the Hot Country Songs chart with "Days Go By", "Making Memories of Us" and "Better Life", as well as the number 2 hits "You're My Better Half" and "Tonight I Wanna Cry". "Live to Love Another Day" also peaked at number 48 on the country charts without being released as a single.
"Making Memories of Us", written by Rodney Crowell, was originally recorded by Tracy Byrd on his 2003 album The Truth About Men. It was also recorded by Crowell himself, along with his backing band The Notorious Cherry Bombs, on their 2004 self-titled album. Nine of the album's songs were written by Urban. Urban produced the tracks "God's Been Good to Me" and "Live to Love Another Day" himself, and then he co-produced the rest of the tracks with Dann Huff.
"Country Comfort" is a cover of a track from Elton John's Tumbleweed Connection.
The album has received positive reviews from Allmusic,BBC,Entertainment Weekly, and Rolling Stone. Three tracks from the album, "Days Go By", "Making Memories of Us", and "Tonight I Want to Cry" were included in an About.com ranking of Urban's top ten songs.
