Sleeping With The Blues
This year sees the long awaited release of Bill Chambers' solo album "Sleeping With The Blues" but it's going to be a while before it's available in music stores.
You might expect a hard-core hillbilly/honky tonk album from Bill but you'll
discover there's more to Bill's songwriting and playing than strictly
traditional country music. His musical influence on the Dead Ringer Band and
Kasey's music will be apparent after listening to this album. But it's Bill's
songwriting that sets this album apart from his previous collaborations. Where
once he wrote of his place in this country, these new songs reflect the
landscape of his heart. Bill's talents on guitar, dobro and lap steel are
showcased beautifully, without being overdone - a difficult feat to achieve for
an album that's self-produced. The album includes a duet with Kasey "Stories We
Could Tell" (her first recording since Talon was born), an acoustic track from
the Dead Ringer Band "Hold You In My Heart" and the honky tonkin' "The Whiskey
Isn't Working" from Bill & Audrey. While most of the songs are Bill's own,
there are exceptional covers of "I Drink" written by Mary Gauthier and Fred
Eaglesmith's "Big Ass Garage Sale".
You might say this album has taken a life time to make.
It was worth the wait.
