Missy Higgins Has a New Oz Album on the Way ... And That's Not All

Byron Bay Writers Festival

I saw Missy Higgins give two talks at the BBWF and I have to say her Saturday talk was my favourite talk (that will be an upcoming post of mine), but Sunday she announced her new album would be released in September and would be called "Oz" with Missy singing cover versions of great Aussie songs.

I also saw an article that said she and her partner Dan were expecting to be parents in January.

I also noticed Missy was doing a cover of the Divinyls song

Also, if you've read my last post -

you'll see that I'm a Sharks and Lions supporter and that Missy has a cover of the songs Shark Fin Blues (I'm also a NSW Blues supporter) and Old Fitzroy.

The Brisbane Lions are the old Fitzroy team relocated to Brisbane. 

Scar? 
Lion King?:-)
