Lucinda Williams with Kacey Chambers - PBS Soundstage, WTTW Studios, Chicago, IL, 7-10-2003

I'm back from my short vacation. Thanks to all of you who wished me well. I had a great time. Here's another episode of the "PBS Soundstage" show. This time, singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams is the star. However, it starts with a short set by another singer-songwriter, Kasey Chambers.

I had never heard of Kasey Chambers before putting this album together. But when I learned about her, I soon understood why this was a logical pairing. Chambers is from Australia, and has often been likened to an Australian Lucinda Williams. Her first album, "The Captain," was released in 1999. To support it, she went on tour as an opening act for Williams. Her second album, "Barricades & Brickwalls," released in 2001, featured a guest appearance by Williams. It was a huge hit in Australia, going to Number One on the album charts there and achieving platinum status seven times over. It was the best selling album of her career. However, it did much less well elsewhere, for instance not quite reaching the top 100 in the U.S. album charts. 

Here's the Wikipedia entry about her:

The Chambers set is relatively short, only 18 minutes long. The last of the four songs she performed, "Changed the Locks," is actually a Lucinda Williams cover. However, it doesn't appear Chambers and Williams appeared on stage together during this concert. Perhaps they were recorded at different times.

I've posted a bunch of albums by Williams at the blog already, so she doesn't need much of an introduction. Not long before this concert, in April 2003, she released the studio album "World without Tears." It was very well received by critics, and sold about half a million copies. Not surprisingly, she played a few songs from it.

The first song here has "[Edit]" in its title. That's due to a voiceover near the beginning of the song. I got rid of it in the usual way, with the help of the UVR5 audio editing program. I don't know the exact date this concert actually took place. The date in the title is probably the broadcast date.

This unreleased album is 54 minutes long.
