Lyrics the captain kasey chambers5/16/2023 ![]() Nashville country artists Buddy and Julie Miller also lend their voices for harmony on a track apiece. Brother Nash plays bass and acoustic and provides vocals on a couple of tracks. Her dad, Bill Chambers, backs her on numerous string instruments including dobro, slide and lap steel guitar. Kasey's crisp, clear voice draws you in from the first line of the first of 12 self-written songs. Not my usual cup of tea, but when I heard the title track on National Public Radio's World CafŽ, along with a charming interview, I was smitten. Kasey Chambers is definitely country in the tradition of Hank Williams and Emmylou Harris, with a little Dolly Parton thrown in for good measure. ![]() Although I've been known to buy up all of Mary-Chapin Carpenter's and Trisha Yearwood's CDs, it was done in the interest of women's music, not country music. The debut, released in 1999 overseas and 2000 in the U.S., is The Captain. Kasey's beautiful voice receives the most kudos and a solo album is born. The gigs become a family affair known as the Dead Ringer Band, which releases a few albums and wins critical acclaim in Australia. When daughter Kasey is 10, the family moves back to civilization where Dad makes a living as a fisherman by day and a singer (with Mom singing harmony) by night. They sing a lot of Hank Williams around the campfire and like the place so much that they stay there for 10 years, subsisting on meager profits from small game hunting. Mom and Dad Chambers, with their infant daughter and toddler son in tow, decide to escape the civilization of city life by packing it all up and moving to the remote Nullabor Plains of the Australian Outback, sans roads, indoor plumbing, appliances, etc. (EMI Music Australia, 1999 Warner Bros., 2000)įirst, some history, because it's just the kind of Jewel-esque thing that we all love to hear. If you think it's wrong well then it probably is, especially the : Kasey Chambers, The Captain Kasey Chambers, verse Well I don't have as many friends because I'm not as pretty as I was I've kicked myself at times because I've lied So I will have to learn to stand my ground I'll tell 'em I won't be around I'll move on over to your town and hide Chorus 1 And you be the Captain And I'll be no-one And you can carry me away if you want to And you can lay low Just like your father and if I tread upon your feet you just say so Chorus 2 'Cos you're The Captain, I am no-one, I tend to feel as though I owe one to you verse Well I have handed all my efforts in I searched here for my second wind Is there somewhere here to let me in I asked So I slammed the doors they slammed at me I found the place I'm meant to be I figured out my destiny at last Bridge part Did I forget to thank you for the ride I hadn't tried I tend to runaway and hide I think that you can figure the rest out for yourselves just by listening to CD, it's really not that hard.
