Considering the plaintive, soul-searching beauty on Kasey Chambers' third disc Wayward Angel -- already No. 1 in her native Australia -- it's no wonder she queries, ''If I dig any deeper/Lord, what will I find?'' Channeling both the alt-country and the roots-pop sides of her musical psyche, Chambers sings of mislaid love and bruised dreams with such an open grace that it makes it easier to forgive one's own lapses.
