This was her first major hit, and ironically it was written in response to the record industry and radio largely ignoring her because she didn’t fit into the stereotype of a “pretty”, pouting female artist. Since then she’s become one of Australia’s most successful and lauded country music artists, with a string of awards to her name.

Kasey goes beyond country, if she thinks the genre doesn't suit her purposes in a particular song. That's one of the things we love about her. She is not afraid of boundaries. 😊

I have tried to find and listen to all her music. I have not been disappointed. She is such an incredible talent and is also an ARIA Hall of Fame member (Australia Recording Industry Association). Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the next as usual. My favorite of hers is probably The Captain, other than the Lose Yourself cover lol. Cya on the next one neighbor.

Kasey comes from an interesting family who spent part of the year in the outback (with her parents shooting foxes and rabbits) and the rest in a small fishing town. They had a family band, the Dead Ringer Band, who very very popular, firstly locally in South Australia, then in New South Wales. I taught Kasey and her brother Nash in high school in 1990.

Good for her!

Another outstanding Australian singer songwriter you might like to checkout is Paul Kelly. He’s an Aussie icon and sometimes referred to as the Australian Bob Dylan (though I don’t generally like making comparisons like that). Songs to listen to include To Her Door, Dumb Things, and How to Make Gravy (the last one is a Christmas staple, and best to watch a live performance).

Other great songs are "You're the Voice" "Pressure Down" "When something is wrong with my baby (with Jimmy Barnes)" Cold Chisel: Amazing band, the epitome of Aussie pub rock. The list is extensive, try "Khe Sahn", "Bow River (the live version from the in the round concert)" "Flame Trees" Jimmy Barnes: Cold Chisel's lead singer, went solo. Plenty of great songs, "Stone Cold (feat Joe Bonamassa)", "Working Class Man" Divinyls: Led by the amazing and unique Chrissy Amphlett. Female fronted pure rock outfit. "Boys in Town", "Jealous", "Pleasure and Pain" INXS: One of the biggest global bands of the 90s. "Never Tear Us Apart", "New Sensation" The list is huge. There's so many I havent named just because I can't think of them off the top of my head. Especially in the 1980s, Australia had some of the best music around.

KZread up to its old tricks again of not sending me alerts to new content, how annoying I missed this till now. A wonderfully simple song that can have so many meanings for different people. As others have said Kasey having not fit into the stereotypical industry money making image penned this song. I think it resonated with people for just that reason, not fitting in for whatever reason be it beauty ideals, beliefs, interests so many reasons. I am glad this song and artist are resonating with you. Definitely as I have seen in the comments Paul Kelly specifically - To Her Door, or The Black Sorrows - Harley & Rose are great listens as well. 😀

Thank you so much for these suggestions! And yes, I do believe the main point was to the industry and the video gave it a soft filter. So wonderful. Either way, powerful.

Hello! I was a teenager in the 80's so admit to a lean toward pop which I would also like to point out, is balanced by an inherent appreciation of rock and metal. Anyway, I do like Pop and I keep seeing people reacting to Not Pretty Enough. In terms of Kasey, I MUCH prefer Like a River. Both were very successful commercial singles, but I think Like a River was the better received of the two. Try, Like a River, Lovely neighbor. Definite pop country vibe but its really good. I believe you also will prefer it. xo.
