Album Description
Kasey chambers, one of australia's most loved female artists, has teamed up with (her husband) shane nicholson to record a new album, 'rattlin' bones'. Drawing on both their songwriting talents and unique voices, 'rattlin' bones' heralds a return to the alternative country roots that first launched kasey's stellar career, whilst establishing their own unique sound. This is chambers and nicholson at the top of their form to make an extraordinary "roots country" record - writing and performing heartfelt songs that speak with an undeniable honesty. Whilst giving a sizeable nod to chambers' country music upbringings, 'rattlin' bones' equally secures nicholson's natural fit on the rootsy highway. Having sold over one million albums, been awarded seven aria's, five cmaa golden guitars and a swag of apra awards, kasey chambers is undoubtedly one of australia's most respected female performers. Kasey's balance of commercial success with her credible country roots has accorded her the admiration of her fellow musicians - her supporters including notables such as emmylou harris, elton john and ben harper to name a few. Shane nicholson started his music career as the front man for brisbane-based rock outfit pretty violet stain and his subsequent solo work includes the albums 'it's a movie' and 'faith and science', which have received critical success in both australia and the us. Frequently praised for the quality of his writing and production in his past work, these same talents indisputably resonate throughout 'rattlin' bones'. Produced by nash chambers and shane, 'rattlin' bones' sees two of australia's finest singer songwriters unite for 14 tracks that straddle the gamut of emotions and are sure to delight. The album will be kasey and shane's first release through independent record label liberation.

Kasey Chambers is one of my favorite alternative artists.
Her raspy little girl voice is between Concrete Blond and Joan Osbourne.
With a country flavor.
This particualar CD with Shane Nicholson's - is just a little too country for my tastes. It's my least favorite of her catalogue to date.
I'd recommend one her earlier efforts to anyone wanting to check out her sound ie: the Captain or Barricades & Brickwalls.

Although I'm a big Kasey Chambers fan I was hesitant to get this cd because I was not enthralled with her previous cd- Carnival. Rattlin' Bones is an almost complete turn around though. I guess I'd consider myself a contempory folk singer-songwriter fan and this was right up my alley. Some of the songs on this cd would be right in place on cds such as Songcatcher or Oh Brother Where Art Thou. I hear shades of Julie Miller and Gillian Welch in several of the songs. Bottom line - I love it!
If Fleetwood Mac was a Countryband... November 22, 2008
They will have a sound like Kasey Chambers&Shane Nicholsson on Rattlin Bones.The riff of Rattlin Bones is unique but sound looklike the Classic Fleetwood mac song "Tusk" but Kasey and Shane is so much better because they are very enthusiastic and you can here that they have fun when they are playing music.Their genre is good alternative country.The best ballad of the year 2008 is "One More Year" on this album.The music and the attitude is very generous with 14 great tracks.One of the most hypnotic and best tracks is Sleeping Cold, and Rattlin Bones is one of the three best album this year.
