Suburban Songbook by Bob Evans

Suburban Songbook, the second album from Bob Evans, came out on EMI in 2006, and it's the quiet side of Kevin Mitchell, the singer and guitarist of Perth band Jebediah, who adopted the pseudonym to keep his solo songs apart from the band. Away from Jebediah's alternative rock, these songs turn to folk-pop: quieter, introspective and melodic. Brad Jones, whose résumé runs through Josh Rouse, Yo La Tengo, Sheryl Crow and Jill Sobule, produced it at Alex the Great Studios in Nashville, and the record wears its Nashville polish lightly.

It became his most successful solo record, debuting at No. 15 on the ARIA albums chart. At the 2006 ARIA Awards it won Best Adult Contemporary Album, it earned nominations for the J Award and the Australian Music Prize, and in October 2010 it made the book 100 Best Australian Albums. "Nowhere Without You" and "Don't You Think It's Time" were the songs that reached the countdowns.
