Wayward Angel is the aptly named third album by this Aussie import
with the expressive childlike voice. Sounding like a Julie
Miller/Lucinda Williams/Emmylou Harris hybrid she fares well on the
album’s more pop influenced numbers. However Chambers is at her best
when she embraces the traditional music she grew up with touring in
the Dead Ringer Band with her father Bill Chambers - who plays
guitar on Angel - and her older brother Nash - who produced this
effort. Hank style steel guitar, dobro and banjo join with solid
production to complement her smooth yet gritty vocals and her simple
yet beautiful lyrics. She even touches on her new celebrity status
in the land down under on Hollywood and For Sale - You can buy my
life on the radio, order me by mail, not everything about me is for
sale. Hopefully she’s prepared for the same in North America. |
