Kasey keeps up the good work,

(4 & 1/2 stars)
Kasey Chambers has made some of the very best music I've heard over the past decade or so, and her latest album, Little Bird, continues her excellent track record. Little Bird was released nearly a year ago in Ms Chambers' native country, Australia. Expecting a delay from the American record industry, I purchased it in 2010 from Down Under. I've really been enjoying the Bird-songs over the past year, deciding that they rank right up there with the best of her stuff. Kasey's chosen genre is a roots style of country and folk. It could perhaps be put into the "Americana" category except for being made in Australia. ("Austricana"? No, sounds like a type of bird, or dinosaur...) Among my favorite songs are the plaintive title track and the even sadder "Somewhere." (I guess I like the sad songs!) But she can up the tempo too, with a bit of rock 'n' roll flavor on "This Story," a country-rock number which should be a hit if there's any justice in the...Read more

Amazing album,
July 11, 2011 Alison Drozd (Pittsfield, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Little Bird (MP3 Download)
I've been a fan of Kasey's for 5 years now. Having recently been lucky enough to catch her on tour in the US I can say this album is my favorite of all her's. "Beautiful Mess" is an amazing song..in fact she won the International Songwriters Competition in 2010 for this song. She sings from the soul and writes from the heart. Her style is def Americana meet Aussie.. It's not like much else you will hear and her voice is one in a million. I own this as an import from Australia and now from Amazon Mp3.. I love it!

Another great CD from down under,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Little Bird (Audio CD)
I purchased this CD and found 14 songs on it. All of the songs are good, some are better than others.
I was hoping that this CD would be released in the US so that I could get it for less than $30.00 and was hesitant to spend the $32.00 without hearing any samples of the songs, but we have 5 other CDs from Kasey Chambers and love all of them, so I took a chance. I wasn't disappointed. This is as good as any of her other CDs. My personal favorite is Down Here On Earth, but I also really like Little Bird, Georgia Brown, Bring Back My Heart and Train Wreck (which includes a bonus jam session that sound like they were haveing as much fun recording it as I had listening to it).
Hopefully this CD will be eventually released in the US so more people can enjoy it and it will get some radio airplay. Kasey doesn't quite fit into any established musical categories but she takes country music and adds an Australian flavor to it that I think improves it.
