I was listening to Carnival the other day and it reminded me how much I like Kasey Chambers, so I thought I should catch up on her a bit, and her latest was this double album that came out last year.
It seems like she's gone on with it; she's still good, and these days grittier and a bit wider-ranging (though she was always eclectic) in her rootsiness. There are a bunch of good songs on this set, and three burn-the-house-down excellent ones in "Ain't No Little Girl", "Summer Pillow" and "You Ain't Worth Suffering For", the two with 'ain't' in the title both bluesy rockers, and the other more of a country-pop anthem (although the pop element is of the Sia kind), strings and all.
