The Ranch was a country music group formed as a trio in 1995, consisting of Australian-American artists Keith Urban (guitar, keyboards, vocals), Jerry Flowers (bass, backing vocals), and Peter Clarke (drums, vocals). The majority of their songs were co-written by Urban alongside Vernon Rust.
Their debut album, titled The Ranch, was issued by Capitol Records in 1997 and included two singles: "Walkin' the Country" and "Just Some Love," both of which appeared on music charts prior to the band's dissolution in 1998. Among the tracks was "Some Days You Gotta Dance," which was later released as a single in 2001 by the Dixie Chicks, featuring Urban on guitar. Following the group's breakup, Urban continued his solo career and frequently worked with Flowers.
Leveraging Urban's rising solo prominence, the album was re-released in February 2004 under Capitol/EMI with the new title Keith Urban in The Ranch. This edition added two extra songs: "Billy" and a rendition of Stealers Wheel's "Stuck in the Middle with You." The reissue also contained music videos for "Walkin' the Country" and "Clutterbilly."
