Shrink-wrapped Missy Higgins' 'The Ol' Razzle Dazzle,' is the breakout Australian songwriter's first album in five years and her debut for the label. U.S. tour dates will be announced soon. Recorded in Nashville, and produced by Brad Jones (Jill Sobule, Matthew Sweet) and Butter?y Boucher (David Bowie, Sarah McLachlan), the album s twelve new songs represent the boldest, most experimental - yet irresistible - music of her career.And they almost never happened.In 2007, after generating over one million global album sales and a U.S. gold single, performing on top shows like Conan, Kimmel and Leno, logging over twenty TV syncs, and selling out venues like NYC s Terminal 5 and LA's Orpheum, Missy quietly backed away from music. She came back to it after her time at University and through volunteer work. All of her experiences - the ups, downs, uncertainty, questioning and all the lessons learned - have made it on to this album.
