Who says Keith Urban is the only Australian who can do country music? Husband and wife duo, Shane Nicholson and Kasey Chambers, show off all the gritty heartfelt country angst and admiration in ever note of their September 2008 debut album, Rattlin' Bones.
The two have produced several albums as solo artists in Australia, Nicholson in the rock genre and Chambers in the hippy-chick earth mother genre (at least that's what it sounds like to me in the iTunes samples), but this is their first project together. My favorite track is "Sweetest Waste of Time," but I've found that after owning this album for several months my favorites are constantly changing; there isn't a phoned-in song in the bunch.
If you like Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, Tift Merritt, or the recent Alison Krauss/Robert Plant collaboration album, "Raising Sand," you will definitely enjoy this exceptional piece of work!
