Kasey Chambers – Barricades & Brickwalls

Kasey Chambers
Artist: Kasey Chambers
Title: Barricades & Brickwalls
Label: Warner Bros.
Rating: 8/10

Kasey Chambers is a native Australian who took America by storm with her absolutely amazing voice and first album, The Captain. Now she’s back with gifts still intact on Barricades & Brickwalls.

You need to hear this:
“Barricades & Brickwalls” – her country stroke is only supplemented by that voice.
“Not Pretty Enough” – a song that could bring a tear to the iciest person. The song touches very close to the heart.
“On A Bad Day” – words that ring close to home.
“A Little Bit Lonesome” – takes you back, way back to the days when Hank Williams wrapped heartbreak around the twang of a country guitar.
“This Mountain” – is perhaps the albums crowning glory.
“Ignorance” – hidden track, a true, yet cruel taste as Chambers sings about the pain of the world.

Kasey Chambers rocks whether you like country or not, and I do not. Even with a dash of prejudice against the twang of country this Aussie still blew me away. Look out Nashville; Kasey Chambers has your number.
