Casey's actually classified in Oz as a country singer, but she happily wanders out of the corral. Check out her Australian music awards = the ARIAS. She has buckets of awards, deservedly so - a real treasure. Her parents are musicians as well.
I can not tell you how much I love this comment. “ happily wanders out of the corral”💕💕. Thank you so much for giving me this information about her and the ARIAS. Even from my very limited experience with her, I would happily fill her Mantle with awards!
She starting writing this when her & her ex husband separated, but didn’t finish until later. I’m guessing it’s about Shane but you can make up your own mind. Wonderful reaction 🥰
Her voice is unbelievable...I LOVE this song...thanks for reacting to it...❤ Try Rattlin Bones, or Barricades and Brickwalls, both great songs by Kasey
This is her F.U. to mainstream radio.....couldn't get air time & was treated like a child by them. Toured her backside off & built such a grass roots fan base - the radio stations had to give her the respect she deserved......hard to ignore her when the requests from listeners for her music kept pouring in.
I agree with what you said "You feel like you know her and parts of me are her" I think nearly every women has wanted to say these things to someone lol. Kasey is a brilliant singer/songwriter. I just watched a live performance of this that Kasey did in the USA and she left it all on the stage she got a complete standing ovation.... Loved your reaction lovely. Saying hi from Australia
@@redheadedneighbor Yes I did try to post the link for that concert in the USA but for some reason RUclips removed it and I was sent to the naughty corner for and hour lol. Here is the name of the venue etc so you can view it Bluegrass Underground Season VII (PBS) Kasey Chambers' "Ain’t No Little Girl"
She refers to this song as the glue that holds herself together. Excerpt from an interview in 2018: The Australian singer-songwriter was adamant about "Ain't No Little Girl" being the first single from her 11th album, Dragonfly. "It's the first song in my life I truly feel 'wrote me' rather than me writing it," Kasey Chambers explained in her 2017 Songfacts interview. "I wrote it a few years back and never connected to it much because I honestly felt like I wasn't strong enough personally or vocally to really 'own it.'" Chambers went on to express how vocal surgery changed her. "I grew into the song throughout a lot of personal growth and after vocal surgery having two nodules removed from my vocal chords, I found a new strength and power within myself as a singer and a woman," she said. "It became a theme to new life, and I feel is the most important song I've ever written. It is the glue that holds the whole album together, and my life!" Chambers revealed to The Australian that the powerful track can be quite fragile as well. "It's not all strong, though," she said. "In the verses there are really vulnerable moments where I feel like I could cry, but it's always overpowered by strength in the chorus. And that's what it's about. That's me.'"
Looking for a strong Australian female vocal? Go with “Sweet Guy” Merri soul session. The singer is Vika Bull, the songwriter is Paul Kelly who is in the video playing guitar.
Talkin Baby Blues is my favourite. Her life story told with some humour. She name checks many artists and I always smile when she name checks Kanye. Again off her album Dragonfly.
Kasey said in an interview that this song is more her as she is now than any other she has written her songs are an autobiography. You do get to know her _ good and bad, warts and all. She bares her soul every time . No pretence, no gloss just pure honesty. That's why I love her
I am loving watching you going down the Kasey Chambers rabbit hole. I have been a fan of hers since the Captain, but love that so many new people are getting exposed to her because of the Eminem cover. She really deserves a lot more recognition in the US. Doing the Captain next makes sense and a lot of people are saying the best version is the Paste Studios one, so that's probably a good one. My favorite song of Kasey's is Nullarbor Song. It is sort of her origin story and tells of living in the outback and having to leave. It is heart-breaking, but also haunting and beautiful. There is a live version: ruclips.net/video/hy0LsznX59A/видео.html. I have been trying to get more people to do reactions to increase her exposure. If you have any suggestions on how to go about this, let me know.
if you want to hear kasey in her element, that is country, pony is a great song to listen to, the official video is very sultry and the live at the aria awards is brilliant
Thanks for this one neighbor. She really is a true gift. Her voice and tone just makes me melt. My favorite of hers is probably The Captain. Have a blessed day and cya on the next one.
Kasey actually wrote this song a few years before she recorded it, but it took until 2016/17 before she felt strong enough to tackle it; she states that this song is " an answer to the question posed by her 2001 number one hit song Not Pretty Enough".
Loved your reaction. She has such a powerful voice! Another artist that's passed me by. You know what though I really like that there are so many that have because now there's so much to explore. I'd vote for reacting to the live one as well! If it's anything like her Lose Yourself performance it's going to be great!! Aussies wise, I already gave you my suggestion, Midnight Oil. 😀
@@redheadedneighbor Favourites? I could maybe narrow it down to 20 Lol The problem is a lot don't have videos and looking at an album cover isn't great for reacting really is it. Ok, let me see, I think as they have many varied songs I'll go one live, rocky, fast, energy fuelled one, which should have you bouncing which you'll find under Oils on Water - 16. Stand In Line - Midnight Oil. It's from a dvd so you can stop when the song ends as the last minute of the video is just credits from the dvd. Then for the second one let's go with Midnight Oil -Beds Are Burning as it's their most known song. You might well recognise that one when you hear it as it was their big global hit in about 88.

@@brettbridger362 when I was a little girl, I would have to travel state to state with my parents as my dad worked. He was a pipeline operator. The town I was from was not much but it was home. I bet that song will HIT!
Captain is Kasey’s first international hit in some regards. It was the featured closing song in an episode of The Sopranos about 20 years ago. That’s how long she’s been kicking ass. The in studio version with just her and her guitarist is a very cool rendition.
First time hearing this. I was definitely NOT expecting this! She continues to impress me. Thanks for sharing. And yeah, it's got a film noir vamp feel to it. (Am I allowed to say 'vamp' these days)
@@redheadedneighbor Your most welcome. Love your reactions and your absolutely cute expressive manner, love, appreciation and knowledge of music. Keep up the great work
glad you're enjoying aussie female music talent, i suggest katie noonan, washington, and renee geyer just to name a few, maybe start with renee who unfortunately passed away in january, the clip of love don't live here anymore with kev garant is superb
I may have suggested this previously but Matt Corby" brother" triple J like a version ,would be an equal comparison to Kasey but as a male version he has awesome story telling and exceptional talent. I'm sure there is also other great Aussie artists that you would enjoy, plenty of them, maybe a dedicated day of the week for you to explore Aussie artists. I love your reactions but I sense some pain you have endured in your life, in saying that I also see your beauty and kindness in your heart, no small feet to overcome through the disappointments of life.
What a fantastic reaction. Plenty more to check out. Her live performances are better - especially this one - check out the live at Bluegrass Underground.
I do like your reactions and I'm very happy you like Kasey. But I do think it's a pity you have reacted to the studio version, 'There are quite a few versions of Kasey singing this live on youtube and, in my opinion, they are better. As you say, she kills it.

"I still pray" is one of her earlier songs sings it with another Aussie singers Paul Kelly.
I hope to eventually be exposed to all she has to offer
Kasey Chambers. Very, very, very good singer, songwriter,performer.😮
Wonderful!
This is her F.U. to mainstream radio.....couldn't get air time & was treated like a child by them.
Toured her backside off & built such a grass roots fan base - the radio stations had to give her the respect she deserved......hard to ignore her when the requests from listeners for her music kept pouring in.
You can tell she is standing her ground and taking control of something. There is a “ no air in the room” quality in the song. Powerful.
Actually her FU song to the radio stations was "Not Pretty Enough"
@@moonvale that was a great one
You should listen to her live performance of The Captain at Paste Studios. It’s so beautiful
I will! She is wonderful!
Yes, this.
Sultry, silky, smooth, and sexy!
She is ALL of those.
I have loved listening to Kasey for years, so watching you discover her is so much fun! Happy Holidays!
Kasey does a torch song, the lady can sing the blues
She is a boss

I knew it felt important but I didn’t know it was like that.🥹
She released it after that surgery and not too long after her divorce - both life changing events that break or make you.

That album must be 🔥🔥🔥. Wow!
I’m pretty sure I’m a Kasey fan!
check out pony by kasey ,an early song of hers and even has a bit of yodelling in it,lol it will spin you out
Oh cool!
she was brought up in the wildest desert with 1 hour a day schooling. what an achievement.
No doubt!! She is a storm!! Love her

@@redheadedneighbor hard to pick, but i do like the sultry kasey
You’re exactly right, she kills the live versions. They are fantastic for their own reasons. Watch the ARIA version for the pure emotion. Enjoy ❤
That sounds great! I’ll need to check them out
Thanks for this one neighbor. She really is a true gift. Her voice and tone just makes me melt. My favorite of hers is probably The Captain. Have a blessed day and cya on the next one.
She is a wonder. I’m gonna give it a try. She has impressed me every time.
Go kassey rock make Australia proud

To all the other great songs, I think you should include 'Nullarbor Song - Live". This is her 'homesick' song, remember to bring a box of tissues...
Oh my gosh! I will probably bawl.

You loved the woman in this song - and too right!
I agree she is amazing! Most women can easily relate to this song.
Awesome reaction Red 👏👏👏
Thank you so much.🥰
Go girls, both of you 7:53
Her track “ The Captain” is ready to tug at the heart strings. I suggest Paste Studios version for the live version.
Thank you for that information. That is very helpful
This sounds like it should be in a Tarantino movie (at least)
Yes!
Many thanks for doing this!
Very much my pleasure.
I reallylike her song about the Aussie desert Nullarbor Song
That sounds intriguing!
@@redheadedneighbor It's a beautiful song. On the studio version her dad plays one of the most memorable acoustic lead guitar breaks I've ever heard
Stunning again Miss Redhead
Thank you💕
@@redheadedneighbor Your most welcome. Love your reactions and your absolutely cute expressive manner, love, appreciation and knowledge of music. Keep up the great work
@@anthonymiller6081 ☺️that means so much thank you!
Nice reaction, but you should review her live version of this song from the NYC sessions. It's spine tinglingly good.❤
Yes, I should. This lady is talented.
She sounds like Amy Winehouse. Nice
Bit technical....but to clarify - Kasey's years as an active performer pre date Amy by 15 years. Kasey started in 1987 - Amy 2002.
They do share some qualities
You really need to check out a live performance, she slays it every single time.
I certainly do!
glad you're enjoying aussie female music talent, i suggest katie noonan, washington, and renee geyer just to name a few, maybe start with renee who unfortunately passed away in january, the clip of love don't live here anymore with kev garant is superb
Thank you so much!
You binge as much as you like.
Australia's answer to Adele (Kasey, 10 years earlier), but better.
🔥🔥🔥
This song gives me Amy Winehouse vibes
Want to see a transition (song writing and/or life?)
Captain
Not Pretty Enough
Ain't No Little Girl
I’m really hoping to get to Captain this week!
As to reacting to live vs video, all the lives I’ve seen of her are at least as good or better than the recorded ones
I may have suggested this previously but Matt Corby" brother" triple J like a version ,would be an equal comparison to Kasey but as a male version he has awesome story telling and exceptional talent.
