Wayward Angel is the third studio album by Australian singer Kasey Chambers, released by Essence Records in Australia on 31 May 2004.

"Hollywood" was the first single released and became Chambers fifth top forty hit in Australia.

[3] The title track "Wayward Angel" was written about Chambers son Talon Jordi and states the song's meaning is she will not always be perfect but she will always be there for him.

"[3] The first track "Pony" features baritone guitar by Steuart Smith who has also worked with the Eagles and Shawn Colvin.

[4] It was certified platinum by ARIA on its first week and also topped the Australian Country Chart, knocking her previous album off number-one.

[8] AllMusic stated that Chambers "manages the not-unremarkable accomplishment of splitting the difference between Emmylou Harris's crystalline purity and Lucinda Williams's rough-hewn emotional honesty".

[9] They also state that her "songwriting is no less remarkable, and connects in much the same way, chronicling matters of the heart and soul in a manner that achieves a genuine and unaffected beauty with just a dash of the truthful messiness that comes with being human".
