CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com On her third album, Chambers has weathered a storm of publicity and expectation by clinging to her deeply southern--as in Australian--roots. She stands by her Dead Ringer Band kin (brother Nash Chambers produces and father Bill Chambers plays lead guitar), and her delicate songs continue to celebrate the innocence and wonder of loving and being loved. The slight adult-contemporary sheen never outshines the blues and bluegrass flourishes--indeed, "Follow You Home" rips like a Del McCoury breakdown--as she explores all the poetic potential of the conditional voice. "If I were lost would you shout my name out loud?" and "If you were a river run dry, well I'd sing you sweet by and by" are more than coy conceits. They're unforced glimpses of grace, earned by remaining faithful to who she is. Even in a holding pattern, the sweet strength of Chambers's voice and songs find room to soar. --Roy Kasten Similar CDs

CD ReviewsJon Jon P. Zehnder | 10/18/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I first heard Kasey Chambers on NPR, Sunday Edition. I thought I'd try it and I found that I enjoy this album more everytime I hear it. And I'm 52. Good stuff!" Angelic Music From Kasey Faithless Street | Austin | 01/14/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "On her third album, Kasey Chambers steps into her sound. A lot closer to the stripped basics of The Captian, Wayward Angel finds her exploring styles with the same eagerness she employeed on Barricades and Brickwalls. Her writing has matured and Wayward Angel finds her pushing it into new arenas. Overall, her most satisfying album to date. The first track, "Pony" offers us a sweet and coy version of Kasey Chambers, which is the first time we have heard her this giggly and fun. This simple joy tracks through the album on songs like "Mother" "Follow You Home" and "Guitly As Sin." The last of these finds Kasey embracing a deliciously naughty Wanda Jackson vibe. There are still plenty of the heartwrenchingly sad songs that we have all come to expect from Kasey--including two of her best yet "More Than Ordinary" and "Lost and Found" which finds her ruminating "I am still here/there's no where else to go." This album also finds a new vulnerabilty for Chambers, in the deeply personal songs like "For Sale" and "Saturated." But perhaps the best song on the entire cd is the one which spawned a thousand Patty Griffin comparisons, the piano laden "Paper Aeorplane." Anyone who has enjoyed Kasey Chambers in the past will find this album more than satisfying and it serves as the perfect intoduction to this delicately perfect artist." Down Under Country Tim Brough | Springfield, PA United States | 02/06/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "How does a woman from Australia make a better country CD than 90% of what passes for country in Nashville? Casey Chambers made this wonderfully song and beautifully played CD and all she got for it was a cult following in the US. (As opposed to her home continent where she is a star.) Maybe if she recorded a hack novelty song like "Redneck Girl" instead of the shuffling swing of "Pony" ("and I'll name it after Ralph Stanley"), or some cheesy ballad instead of the banjo accented and realistically emotional title track, she'd crack the shallow gene pool of country radio.
But as for me, I am happy to listen to this honest and emotional CD. If your definition of country music leans more towards Lucinda Williams or The Dixie Chicks, then "Wayward Angel" and Casey Chambers' short but captivating catalog - I also recommend "The Captain" - will be in your high rotation." |
