Editorial Reviews:

2008 collaboration between Chambers, the beloved Australian singer/songwriter and her husband Shane Nicholson. Drawing on both their songwriting talents and unique voices, Rattlin' Bones heralds a return to the Alternative Country roots that first launched Kasey's stellar career. This is Chambers and Nicholson writing and performing heartfelt songs that speak with an undeniable honesty. Whilst giving a sizeable nod to Chambers' Country Music upbringings, Rattlin' Bones equally secures Nicholson's natural fit on the rootsy highway. 14 tracks. EMI. 2008.

Summary: This Pairing is Great!
Comment: After hearing "Monkey on a Wire" on a Sirus FM channel, I knew I had to hear more from these two from Australia. Although I've not heard either one alone, the duo is pretty marvelous. The songs are bluegrass style, with some country inflections (that even I could tolerate even though I'm not a country music fan), the lyrics are a quite dark and melancholy, but the combination of the music, lyrics, and the voices make this CD definately worth the price! I'll be looking for more from them.

Summary: Casey Chambers Rattlin Bones
Comment: Kasey Chambers is one of my favorite alternative artists.
Her raspy little girl voice is between Concrete Blond and Joan Osbourne.
With a country flavor.
This particualar CD with Shane Nicholson's - is just a little too country for my tastes. It's my least favorite of her catalogue to date.

I'd recommend one her earlier efforts to anyone wanting to check out her sound ie: the Captain or Barricades & Brickwalls.

Comment: Although I'm a big Kasey Chambers fan I was hesitant to get this cd because I was not enthralled with her previous cd- Carnival. Rattlin' Bones is an almost complete turn around though. I guess I'd consider myself a contempory folk singer-songwriter fan and this was right up my alley. Some of the songs on this cd would be right in place on cds such as Songcatcher or Oh Brother Where Art Thou. I hear shades of Julie Miller and Gillian Welch in several of the songs. Bottom line - I love it!

Summary: If Fleetwood Mac was a Countryband...
Comment: They will have a sound like Kasey Chambers&Shane Nicholsson on Rattlin Bones.The riff of Rattlin Bones is unique but sound looklike the Classic Fleetwood mac song "Tusk" but Kasey and Shane is so much better because they are very enthusiastic and you can here that they have fun when they are playing music.Their genre is good alternative country.The best ballad of the year 2008 is "One More Year" on this album.The music and the attitude is very generous with 14 great tracks.One of the most hypnotic and best tracks is Sleeping Cold, and Rattlin Bones is one of the three best album this year.
