Her debut album, Quiet Girl with a Credit Card, followed in 1996 on the W.Minc label and was produced by Graham Lee.

After sorting out troubles with her record companies, Miller released an album of cover versions in 2002 for the fledgling Melbourne label Raoul Records (run by her husband Ben Lempriere). The album, Car Tape, found Miller in a country-soul vein and was a critical success. As on earlier recordings, Miller's choice of cover songs leant heavily towards U.S. male singer/songwriters. Miller's profile - while still small outside Melbourne's inner-city suburbs - began to grow. A new backing band contained seasoned session musicians, she received further ARIA nominations, and Car Tape went on to sell over 10,000 copies.
