Backbone

Ressing 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 Har ris, Steve Earle and the Dave Matthews to name only a few. "Good and bad, this album is who I am," she says. "I worked with my favourite musicians, and I sang about every beautiful, joyous, embarrassing and tough thing I've gone through. Everything that 's gone into making me this person. Even before anyone has heard this album or read the book, I feel like I've achieved something special."
