''Wayward Angel'' is the third studio album by Australian singer Kasey Chambers, released by Essence Records in Australia on May 31, 2004. Chambers wrote most of the album, three songs co-written by her then husband Corey Hopper and her brother Nash Chambers produced the album — who had previously produced her first two solo albums. The album differs from her previous two due to the fact that Chambers became a mother and she states it is the "most life changing things that you go through" and she did not feel any pressue recording the album. It debuted on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart at number-one making it Chambers second number-one album but the sales did not match up to her previous album ''Barricades & Brickwalls'' (2001) which was certified seven times platinum by Australian Recording Industry Association|ARIA.

"Like a River" was the first song released but was only released to radio and music video shows, it was received well being played on Video Hits and rage (TV program)|Rage many times. "Hollywood" was the second single released and the first as a CD single, it became Chambers fifth top forty hit in Australia. "Pony (Kasey Chambers song)|Pony" was released at the start of 2005 and became Chambers third
