Solving Kasey Chambers

I've always liked Kasey Chambers' albums but never loved one of them. A better songwriter than singer, each of her 4 solo albums are worth hearing, but I can't say I would recommend one over the other. So, it feels kind of odd for me to say that my favorite of her albums may be her recent duet album with husband Shane Nicholson, Rattlin' Bones (Sugar Hill). For once Kasey sounds in her element on a mostly acoustic affair. And let's face it duet albums in the Americana/Country field died years ago. So, maybe what keeps from her solo stuff was the production, because here, even though she uses her brother as producer like she's done before, she gives her most engaging vocals.
