too bad i dont' own it and didn't buy it. this is an awesome album.


Down Under Country
(As opposed to her home continent where she is a star. 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. ) 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.


heavenly voice
enjoyed the majority of the CD, mellow at times, folk at times, country also.


Angelic Music From Kasey
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. On her third album, Kasey Chambers steps into her sound. 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.

I thought I'd try it and I found that I enjoy this album more everytime I hear it. I first heard Kasey Chambers on NPR, Sunday Edition. And I'm 52. Good stuff!.
