Keating is familiar to some from the Irish boy band, Boyzone, or from the Australian version of The X Factor. He has produced nine studio albums, and he found success with the song "When You Say Nothing At All," originally written Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz and recorded by Keith Whitley. Another popular version of the song was released by Allison Kraus. Keating found popularity with the song as it appeared in the film Notting Hill.
The song above is another cover of a song that was originally a hit for a country artist. Garth Brooks' version of the song was his first in a long stream of #1 hits. While I honestly prefer the Brooks take on the song, which was written by Kent Blazy, his material is pretty much impossible to find on YouTube. Keating's version isn't bad, but I grew up with Brooks' version, and it's hard to replace something that you've become connected with for so long. Either way, it's an amazing song... I could probably do without the accordion part in this take on it, though.
