Bill Chambers: Drifting South (Whitewater)
Bill Chambers -- quite apart from being the father of singer-songwriter Kasey and producer Nash -- is one of Australia's great singer-songwriters whose work just seems to be getting deeper and more resonant.
He is suitably road-grizzled these days and his work (just a reference point) sits somewhere between Paul Kelly, Kris Kristofferson and...

Ned Collette and Wirewalker: Over the Stones, Under the Stars (Fabric/Rhythmethod)
When Australian Ned Collette's previous album Future Suture appeared at Elsewhere the closing line was "check this guy out". I suspect few did, even though he visited New Zealand a couple of times.
But here's another chance, although this sounds a little different to its predecessor: often downbeat, lean and less augmented, more...

BEST OF ELSEWHERE 2008 Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson: Rattlin' Bones (Liberation)
Chambers -- daughter of the very great singer-songwriter Bill -- is one of Australia's finest alt.country/roots artists and here she teams up with her husband Nicholson for their first album together.
Oddly enough although they play together in their casual side-project The Lost Dogs covers band they hadn't previously written together --...

Barry Saunders: Zodiac (Ode)
By my count this is Saunders' fifth solo album, and is by far the strongest from the Warratah frontman.
He reaches to the Phoenix Foundation for a downhome(ly) remake of their Going Fishing and his own lyrics are allusive, just specific enough to nail down some hard images ("down at the Kingdom Hall") and the snappy band (which...

Ned Collette: Future Suture (Inertia/The Label)
With a flattened and laconic delivery, chiming acoustic folk-styled guitars and some melodic minimalism, this downbeat but widescreen album by Australian singer-songwriter Collette seems to hark back to earlier periods, sometimes sounding like a gentle collision between Nick Drake and Velvet Underground, at others slipping out of a very early...

Martin Craft: Silver and Fire (Longtime Listener/Rhythmethod)
Okay, let's just hear what the British press had to say about this, the debut album from an Australian singer-songwriter now living in London.
"Simply captivating" --- The Sun
"A refreshing breeze to ruffle all preconceptions" -- Time Out
"Divine!" -- The Observer
"Pop never had it so good" --...

Paul Kelly: Stolen Apples (EMI)
Albums by Paul Kelly are like local buses: if you miss one it probably doesn't matter, another will be along soon.
My guess is he has made at least a couple of dozen albums, which means that this album might just pass people by as yet another Kelly album.
That would be a shame because he is still at the top of his game and is such a...

Rand and Holland: Caravans (Spunk)
And the sum total of my information is that these guys are from Sydney -- oh, and that neither of the duo at the core of this small acoustic-based band are called Rand or Holland.
R&H apparently grew out of home recordings by singer-bassist Brett Thompson who initially teamed up with guitarist Stuart Olsen, and now have invited other...
