Reviews In Brief
Full disclosure, Kasey Chambers is my favorite female country singer- albeit from Australia. She has comfortably snugged her way into the John Hiatt, Richard Thompson, Willie Nelson club of always putting out a good album. Not always great but always decent. "Campfire" fits into the good realm. It's acoustic, harmonious, churchy (not preachy) and nostalgic. Mostly quiet and pretty without the grimy backwoods riffs that normally pepper her songs. It doesn't mean there isn't a bit of romp on "Campfire" (Goliath is Dead, This Little Chicken, Junkyard Man) but the majority of songs here are socially or personally thoughtful. What is commendable is that Chambers doesn't remain stagnant putting out the same template album. She is always morphing and brimming with new ideas. Less a couple of draggers near the end (Now That You've Gone, Fox & the Bird) this is another good release from KC keeping this guy still interested.
