On a Clear Night, Missy Higgins' second album, came out on Eleven on 28 April 2007, and it was born a long way from the studio. She started on it the moment her 2004 debut The Sound of White was done, then spent six months of 2006 in Broome, Western Australia, writing songs shaped by that landscape and by relationships gone by. More came on the road in America, and at the end of the year she headed to Los Angeles to cut it with Mitchell Froom.
"Steer", "Where I Stood" and "Peachy" were the singles, "Steer" topped the ARIA singles chart, and the album did the same before going four times platinum, while "Where I Stood" landed on Grey's Anatomy as her manager John Watson chased America. Critics were split: some heard Sarah McLachlan and Alanis Morissette and a new assurance, others heard someone who hadn't pulled clear of the pack. The ARIA voters didn't hesitate, handing her Best Female Artist.
