Backbone (Vinyl)

ARIA Hall of Famer and revered multi-platinum singer songwriter Kasey Chambers has unveiled an exciting suite of forthcoming new material – kicking off with the announcement of her book Just Don’t Be A Dickhead(Hardie Grant Books), the material informing and inspiring her new album Backbone.

Kasey said today, “I’ve just finished writing a book!  I am beyond excited to be releasing it along with a brand-new album.

Never one to shy away from home truths, introspective storytelling and unfiltered honesty, Chambers' distinctive brand of writing weaves through both the musically-versatile Backbone and the thematically-versatile Just Don't Be A Dickhead. Pressing play on the self-produced Backbone will take listeners on a journey through not only where Chambers has been over the years, but where she's at right now.

Chambers enlisted some of the usual suspects to play on Backbone – her dad and guitarist Bill Chambers, her guitarist Brandon Dodd and longtime bassist Jeff McCormack. In a surprise twist, however, two first-timers also joined the fold in the studio: guitarist Sam Teskey, of The Teskey Brothers, and American drummer Brady Blade – who has drummed for Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle and the Dave Matthews to name only a few.
