Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson
It’s been four years since Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson released their last album together, the highly-acclaimed Rattlin’ Bones. Since then the Australian couple have each released their own solo albums and produced their second child. On the new album Wreck & Ruin the duo add even more hillbilly to their mix of North American roots, country and blues. Marty Duda speaks with Kasey and Shane ahead of their Australian tour.
The Sampler: Andy Laking and Gerry Paul
Nick Bollinger weighs in on new solo albums from ex-pat members of traditional Irish music group Gráda - Andy Laking’s warm, folky Here By The Fire, and Gerry Paul’s ludicrous-yet-listenable children’s album Tales From The Sea and An Elephant Tree.

4:10 pm Essential New Zealand Albums Part 4 Hello Sailor – Hello Sailor
Music critic Nick Bollinger presents a selection of essential New Zealand albums, adapted from his book 100 Essential Albums, published by Awa Press.
The release of Hello Sailor’s first album was a sign that local rock had lost its innocence. In this episode of Essential New Zealand Albums Nick Bollinger discusses this smart and seedy Kiwi classic.
Seva Hifi
Nick Atkinson checks out a new album of Pacific Soul from Seva Hifi- out on Sugarlicks.
