Listening to Kasey Chambers’ debut album, The Captain, it’s not hard to believe that she grew up in the South. The kicker, though, is that her incredibly authentic country music originates from the South of Australia! Sean Slone talks with the gifted young artist about the roots of her music and life in the outback.

David Whited offers a compelling argument for dumping the majors to the artist that may be considering taking the self-distributed indie plunge.
