Keith Urban is offering another sneak peek of his upcoming album 'The Speed of New Part 1' in latest Tumbleweed. Released on Thursday, the single is a cranking ode to the free spirit.

Written by Cadillac Three's Jaren Johnston and Neil Mason, and James McNair, Tumbleweed is a familiar affair for Urban. Opening with a slick banjo riff, Tumbleweed delivers on the hard-rock influenced country that Keith Urban nails. By the end of the track Keith Urban wails on a Stratocaster producing a solo that will encourage horns from the most prudent of country fans.

Previously released moments from 'The Speed Of Now Part 1' including Polaroid, Change Your Mind and Superman. The 15-track project is set to be a statement piece for Urban with a stunning list of collaborates, check them out in our earlier story!

Urban will host the Academy of Country Music Awards on Wednesday, September 16. Then, will release 'The Speed Of Now Part 1' two days later on Friday, September 18.
