Parking Lots is the second studio album by Australian blues and roots singer Mia Dyson and was released on 11 April 2005.

The final single off the album, "I Meant Something to You Once", was made available as an exclusive download through iTunes was added to high rotation on Triple J and community, youth radio networks across the country.

Parking Lots was recorded at a holiday house in Victoria's Mt Martha with Dyson's backing band of Lucas Taranto (bass) and Daniel Farrugia (drums).

Stage two saw the studio move back home to the bungalow in her backyard, where she was joined by special guests: Matt Walker, Steve Hesketh (Jet, Dan Brodie) Carl Panuzzo and Sime Nugent.

[1] Patrick Donovan of The Age opined, "Playing to prison inmates may be intimidating for some performers, but entertainment-starved inmates can be highly receptive audiences - especially if you're singing the blues... Dyson puts her newfound maturity down to experience and confidence gained from two years on the road, playing everywhere from women's prisons to three months overseas as a solo artist.
