Keith Urban added some country flare to "The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!" when he took to the stage to perform a cover of Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" alongside R&B singer Miguel.

The collaboration relied heavily on the original song's R&B influences. Urban strummed a guitar during the performance while Miguel took keyboard duties, melding the disparate artists' backgrounds to create a soulful rendition of the classic song.

Urban earned a Grammy nod in the Best Country Duo/Group Performance category for "Highway Don't Care," his collaboration with Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift.

Urban's latest album, "Fuse," debuted at No. 1 upon its release in September. "Fuse" has produced two Top-10 country hits, including "We Were Us," the Miranda Lambert duet that's coming off a run atop the Hot Country Songs chart.

The 46-year-old singer is already a four-time Grammy winner. His most recent accolade came in 2011 when "'Til Summer Comes Around" won Best Male Country Vocal Performance.

Urban was one of several artists who performed at Friday's nominations special, which took place at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. He was joined by Lorde, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift.

This post will be updated with Urban's full performance once it's available.
