This is really a beautiful record, that’s the best word I can think of to describe it. Warm acoustic guitars, lush piano and Missy’s thick Australian accent. And the songs are great songs. I first heard her song ‘Where I Stood’ sitting in Global Village and I liked it so much I went and bought the CD, On a Clear Night. It was done by a great Producer/Mixer team–Mitchell Froom and David Boucher (same guys that did Andy Davis’ record). And Mike, Matt Chamberlain did drums on the entire project, so that should be reason alone to buy this.
Please go to her website and listen to some of her songs. And if you’re lazy, here’s one:

I really hate when I get behind on posting but life has been crazy the past few months. We just finished moving and work has been incredibly busy.
Anyway, here are a few things I’ve been pretty into lately:
- John Leventhal production: The Wreckers, Shawn Colvin, Marc Cohn, Rosanne Cash, Michelle Branch… The man is a genius, I must meet him. He’s a great arranger and plays these very intentional counter-melodies that lead you through the songs. I can’t get enough of this stuff right now.. Do yourself a favor and listen to any of the records to the left.
- I saw Coldplay in concert last week which was an amazing show. I also found their Live 2003 cd/dvd for $6 and it’s a great show as well. As much as I liked Viva La Vida I hope they eventually get back to their roots and do something more organic. (photo courtesy of Josh Bain)
- Used CDs: well I’ve always been into these, but still. The other day I found 6 used CDs and that coldplay DVD for $30 at CD Warehouse in North Raleigh. Places like that are a gold mine. Why pay $9.99 on iTunes for files when you can experience the joy of digging through physical albums and finding what you were looking for? artwork and physical tangible music and it’s cheaper than digital.
- Gibson J-50s: One day soon I really want a good vintage acoustic guitar. My top choice right now is an old J-50, mainly because John Leventhal plays them and they sound awesome.
That’s all for now, but a lot’s happening this fall. A few projects I worked on are releasing and I’m getting to play out quite a bit, so stay tuned and thanks for reading.
