I will take with my next pick, On a Clear Night by Missy Higgins, in the category 06-08.
Released in 2007, this is Australian born Missy Higgins' second studio album. It was quite successful in Australia and is only starting to get more attention in North America.
I first heard of Missy Higgins, fairly recently, through a friend currently living in Australia, and I am hooked. She's quicklky becoming one of my favourites. She's got a great voice, very emotional singing, and strong writing. She's kind of a cross between KT Tunstal and Sarah MacLachlin, in that same vein.
