Editorial Review: Album Description: From one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters to emerge in years, 'Barricades And Brickwalls' has already hit the top of the charts and is 1 1/2 times platinum in her native Australia. Wrapping her stunning voice around true-life stories, Kasey Chambers storms America's musical barricades and brickwalls with melody, emotion and wisdom. Warner Bros. Records. Amazon.com: The hard-edged title cut kicking off this disc suggests that Kasey Chambers might be exploring an entirely different frontier than she did on her 2000 debut, The Captain, but the dozen tracks that follow are much more in line with the sparkling country-folk of her first album. That's good, because at this early stage in her career, there's no reason for Chambers to stray from her obvious strengths: simple but honest lyricism set to tastefully twangy instrumentation and spiked by her alternately sweet and sassy voice rising straight from the South (even if, in her case, it's South Australia). Various guest vocalists add breadth to the proceedings, with results that range from slightly disappointing (Lucinda Williams on "On a Bad Day") to effectively reflective (Paul Kelly on "I Still Pray") to wondrously evocative (Buddy Miller on "Runaway Train") to downright transcendent (Matthew Ryan on "Million Tears"). Mostly, though, it's Chambers's confidence and charm that shines brightly and clearly. --Peter Blackstock Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - When the Lonesome Whistle CriesFor some reason, I didn't connect with Kasey's freshman set. I bought it because anything Lucinda Williams raves about is going to be interesting. This 2002 set popped into my pocket recently at a $2 sidewalk sale. I figured I'd give Chambers another listen. Whether it's me in a different space or Chambers, "Barricades & Brickwalls" is a more satisfying set for me. The title track is probably my favorite with its crunching electric guitars and its boogie feel that'd put a smile on Fred Eaglesmith's face, "You can chain me down on the edge of town; You can leave me there to die, but the railroad track will bring me back when the lonesome whistle cries." "I found the answer but I never liked it," Chambers sings on electric blowout "Crossfire." ... Read More: Rating:  - Dead RingersCatch yerselves on! Kasey Chambers has been incredible for years!!! When yer done buyin' all her solo albums (And ye'd BETTER!) go find the Dead Ringers stuff she did. I love Lucinda and Emmylou, but I'd take Kasey any day. I promise ye won't be disappointed! Rating: - Australian Country!!!!!!!!!!I was a little reluctant i must admit, yeap! i know theres cowboys in Australia and i know theres a lot of simmilarityes between USA and the land downunder, i tought maybe she had that country spirit but she would have a Paula Cole/Tricia Yearwood hibrid style, but Casey performance is brilliant!!! and you can swear she was raised in Texas or Arkansas or Alabama, perhaps Tennesse , Miss Chambers sounds very American, very, very American old fashioned country, such as in 40s, 50s,60s and 80s (i consider her style skips the 70s i dont know if im wrong) "barricades and brickwalls" is an intense opening for this album, guitar sounds are really captivating and is the most dramatic track on this release, "not pretty enough" is a beautifull sad song, "crossfire" ...

She real is the best upcoming artist I've heard in a long time. Rating: - Bought all threeI bought this CD after seeing Casey Chambers in concert. Never heard of her before. I bought all three of her current CD's at once. Now I can just add on, when she releases her new CD later this year. |
