Run your finger down the league table of Golden Guitar winners, and only one woman crops up ahead of Kasey Chambers. Sara Storer arrived to an unprecedented landslide of awards at the Tamworth Country Music Festival of 2004. From the Mallee wheat fields to the red dirt of Katherine, the former schoolteacher had filtered a lifetime of dusty roads and hard-bitten characters into her debut album, Chasing Buffalo. Oz country's go-to producer Garth Porter leapt aboard for Beautiful Circle, the one that grabbed the Tamworth gold and the five-star reviews from Sydney to London. A decade on, the conversational drawl of her voice remains as natural and as welcome as rain on Lovegrass.
