Missy Takes The Green Wheel

Who is the fairest green rock star of them all?  Incubus, Maroon 5, and Coldplay have all been vying for the prize.

Now here comes the talented Aussie breakout singer songwriter Missy Higgins who just released her new album On a Clear Night from Warner Bros. A sensation in Australia, the newly-transplanted Los Angeles resident is now taking the U.S. by storm.

Missy Higgins is clearly a contender for the eco-heavyweight title of greenest female rock star: Miss Green. In late 2007, she traveled across America in a silver Prius, the new-new tour bus, and played to sold-out audiences on her Green Tour. Was the Prius pimped out is my question? 

You can watch all of her hybrid-cruising action in the documentary video series Missy Takes The Wheel. And the microphone. Nice shot of the Golden Gate Bridge, and love her accent!  Watch the excellent Video Trailer and check out the full widget.

On the road, Missy visited many environmental scientists, green schools, and green hotels, i.e. this is not just a Prius shell game. She wants to sing big but tread lightly on the Earth. Her interest in the planet is as real as her passionate singing. Speaking of, I am wild about her songs "Where I Stood" and "Steer". The latter is the best traveling-in-a-Prius music I’ve heard in a long time.
