Stereo Embers The Podcast 0406: Kasey Chambers

"Backbone" The Australian-born Kasey Chambers has been in this game for a long time. At sixteen she and her family formed the ARIA Award winning Dead Ringer Band, who put out four perfect albums, including Living In The Circle and Home FIres, which won best Country album in 1996. In 1999 she decided to go solo and hit the ground running with her debut The Captain. How did that decision pan out? Well, let's just say this: Kasey's solo career is an endless reel of highlights. With almost fifteen albums to her credit, Chambers has been piling up acclaim from the beginning--if you think I'm exaggerating, try these numbers: She's had five number one albums, won fourteen ARIA Awards, ten APRA awards, had four top ten singles, won nine Country Music Association of Australia awards, and put out two books--A Little Bird Told Me and Just Don't Be A Dickhead and Other Profound Things I've Learnt. She's collaborated with Paul Kelly, Keith Urban, Ed Sheeran, and Foy Vance, she was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association Hall of Fame in 2018 and she's considered by many to be one of the most important Australian artists of all time. Her new album Backbone is a riveting blend of roots rock and lilting country; Chambers' voice is truly wondrous; it's graceful, it's stirring and it's as vulnerable as it is commanding. Backbone is another winning entry into Chambers discography and new book is a hilarious and insightful admixture of philosophy and life lessons from the world at large. I loved this conversation; it goes thousands of unexpected directions, each one an endless joy. https://kaseychambers.com/ www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.alexgreenonline.com Stereo Embers: Twitter: @emberseditor IG: @emberspodcast Email: [email protected] (mailto:[email protected])
