We were lucky enough to have Jess Chambers play in Taupo tonight and she was absolutely fantastic. It was an acoustic set accompanied by fellow Woolshed Session member Peter Hill on guitar and mandolin. I have never managed to see the Woolshed Sessions live so this concert was never going to be missed. The self titled album by the Woolshed Sessions was a highlight of 2008 and I have to admit that the 2 songs I loved the most were both Jess Chambers' songs... particularly this one. "Stringing Me Along" is such a beautiful song. The theme is actually quite sad, with the protagonist happy to be treated badly and strung along, rather than having no attention at all... but it is such a catchy and beautifully sung song that the sadness of the situation is easily forgotten. Sad and beautiful at the same time.
