[email fragment] Recently heard a fine (digitized) live performance from a folk/country artist named Kasey Chambers. Shades of Nanci Griffith and other favorites, plus the following fun facts:
a) she's Australian, & grew up as the daughter of an itinerant fox hunter on the wonderfully named Nullarbor Plain in not-quite-so-aptly-named South Australia.
b) most of the songs on her first album ("The Captain") were written in Africa
c) and then recorded in a studio on ... Norfolk Island
d) before being sent off to Nashville for final polishing.

Also if you don't 'lready, you should know about, and listen to, Nellie McKay, whose fusion of cabaret, rap, pop, rant, etc. is utterly winning.

Also, shift gears, what's this I hear about the arrival of Beard Papa?
