Empty Chambers

Australian alt.country wannabe Kasey Chambers has been hyped, such as hype is in the No Depression world, for neigh on a decade now. And why are we hyping her when true talents like Kathleen Edwards, Caitlin Cary and so many others essentially get hung out to dry?


I take particular exception with Ms. Chambers as she has the peculiar inability to come up with an original song title ... for example, she has songs named "Runaway Train" [no, not either the Soul Asylum or John Stewart/Rosanne Cash song], "Surrender" [nope! not Cheap Trick], "Pony" [no, not Caitlin Cary], "Nothing At All" [Nay! not the Heart song!] and ... "Cry Like A Baby" [Not a single Boxtop involved in this one], ... how about "The Captain" ... perchance the Doobie Brothers hit? You'd be wrong! Please, Ms. Chambers, let's try to do at least one original thing in your career.
