Music Review: 'The Captain' (2012)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Lead Performance: Kasey Chambers; Genre: Country

Kasey Chambers has earned raves from the likes of Lucinda Williams, who calls the Aussie her favorite new artist. While her Melanie-like voice has to grow on you, her songs on The Captain — part singer-songwriter observation, hillbilly heartache, and English pub stomper — score for immediacy. Throw in the tune about selling your last Bible to pay the bills, and the girl from Down Under comes out on top. B
