Keith Urban pays tribute to Rolling Stones — and Nashville — on 'Fallon'

Keith Urban represented Nashville again on Tuesday night with an all-star band and an inspired performance of The Rolling Stones' “Tumbling Dice” on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Fallon is hosting a Rolling Stones-themed week on the show, and Urban changed the lyrics in the last chorus of the Stones classic to reflect the recent flood in Nashville.

“There’s a rain been coming down in Nashville, Tennessee,” Urban sang, a borrowed guitar slung around his chest. (Urban lost all of his gear in the flood.) “All week in Nashville, baby. All week in Nashville we’ve been watching the Cumberland rise. So send the money, mama.”

Seems like there's a good chance The Stones approved of the timely lyrics, as longtime keyboard player Chuck Leavell sat in with Urban's band. Familiar Nashville faces in the backing group included Karen Fairchild and Kimberly Schlapman of Little Big Town and Sarah Buxton on background vocals, producer Tony Brown on upright piano, and Urban’s usual players Jerry Flowers, Chris McHugh and Brian Nutter.

maclen: Orb was very much a "bland pale white bread" version of a true classic...and beleive me...my two cents...orb aint no "guitar hero"...he's a one dimensional "picker"...jangles like a "jingle"..no more...no less.

No, the fact that the orb's current cd...the now year old "Defying Sales" sold a paltry 800k cds...as compared to the 2mil sold of his previous cd, "Whole crazy thing" is proof his career is over!

Jakra777 / Oh " so" Leery: Yea its funny that Urban was on JF last night singing an RS tune. I guess hes trying out for his opening spot for the Eagles. I dont see it myself maybe Im missing something here. (shaking my head)



erniesmom: Yep---Very selfish if you ask me...I saw him on CNN and whinning about his big loss.Nothing Tommy's money can't replace...

And where is she? Oh How she loves Nashville..........Is she there? He$$ NO.

Safe & sound in hawaii

erniesmom: I watched and did not especially enjoy this song......And I really ddint like the a$$ shaking...He dances just like the wife..

Mimosa: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm EGO,perhaps



E! Skeptics and Urban Myths haters, you look more dense, foolish, and hateful than ever! Thanks for making this blog such a success!

Nashville Helping Nashville

It was a wonderful night of music and community that raised over $1,700,000.

Fortunately Flood Relief with Vince Gill and Friends was not only carried by the local Nashville affiliate WSMV but by other Tennessee stations, CNN, Fox News, and The Weather Channel.

Before the telethon even began, $10,000 was already in the bank for the Middle Tennessee Harvest Food Bank, Red Cross, and the Salvation Army. Vince Gill kicked things off by announcing he and wife Amy Grant are donating $100,000 to the cause.

The night was filled with old and new friends of Gill's who came by to share a story and a song. Naomi Judd added some levity to the night with some amusing stories about some neighbors who were affected and who added that Keith Urban is also her neighbor in Leipers Fork.






















Taylor Swift called in and publicly donated $500,000 to flood relief.

Julie Roberts who showed up with a broken foot told about how her and her family were rescued and lucky enough to be there tonight sing with Vince.

Lorrie Morgan, Nashville native, shared her personal story where her sister has lost her house. She performed a Jeannie Sealy tune, "Don't Touch Me", by the Grand Ole Opry fixture who was also personally affected by the flood.

Keb' Mo', a longtime friend of Vince's who just moved to Nashville the week prior to the flood, came by to take donations and help the cause.

Mark Volman, a member of the 60's group The Turtles and Belmont University professor came by to help friends and answer phones.

Stephen Curtis Chapman, a resident of Nashville who has gotten through tough times before with the help of Nashville, came by and sang a tune with Vince, and manned the phones.

Amy Grant made the important point that those that ask others to give should be the first ones in line giving, and that is why she and husband Vince donated such a large amount in such a public fashion.

In between songs, Gill told stories and riffed in his usual style, but talked with Lorrie and Keith about the loss of musical instruments at Soundcheck. Everyone from Keb' Mo' who just moved in to longtime session players to superstars like Keith have lost precious instruments and performance gear. They still haven't been able to find out exactly what was lost. The damage whether it be houses or musical treasures is still unknown, but the spirit of the musical community is alive and well.

Amy Grant performed with husband Vince, singing her new single "Better Than A Hallelujah".

Vince Gill joined his western swing Station Inn buddies in a rousing rendition of Bob Will's "San Antonio Rose".

The show closed with Vince Gill's signature tune "Go Rest High On That Mountain".

We at STS would like to share Keith Urban's performances. Keith told Vince wife Nicole sends her prayers and that what he has potentially lost is nothing in comparison to what so many others have endured.

Keith sang "Everybody", did an interview, and after taking phone calls performed "I'm In", a request from a fan in TN who donated. Vince accompanied along with an accordion player.




















Even though the telethon is over you can still help. At the top of the sidebar is all the information you'll need to donate to the Nashville Red Cross.
