notes
Colin Hay possesses a rare ability to communicate. A unique and powerful voice backed with his own distinctive guitar instrumentation delivers his songs straight to the hearts and minds of any audience.
As front man and principle songwriter for eighties hit machine Men at Work, Hay is responsible for one of the most identifiable sounds in pop music. Classic songs like Down Under, Overkill, and Who Can It Be Now unfold before the ears like miniature movies, with timeless twists and a bittersweet sense of humor.
Since Men at Work broke up in 1985, Hay has released a series of critically acclaimed solo albums, reunited his old band with astonishing success, closed the 2000 Sydney Olympics, played and sang, in the Ringo Starr All Starr Band, performed “Man @Work” his own one man show off Broadway, New York, and watched, as his songs continue to connect with new fans the world over. Hay’s “I Just Don’t Think I’ll Ever Get Over You”, became an indelible hit from the success of the Garden State soundtrack, garnering extensive praise from all corners and all ages.
Colin Hay's wit and warmth is now reaching an audience that may be too young to remember cassette tapes or the electric slide. A fluid mix of monologue, song, comedy, and reflection, Colin Hay transports audiences, and makes them glad they came.

Transcedental Highway
author: JennyWOW, What a great CD. I did not know Colin Hay wrote, sung and played such good music until I heard this fabulous song in a movie I was watching. I was not sure but I thought it sounded like his voice. I only remembered him from the 'Men at work' days, which I am sorry but I did not like. So I tracked down the soundtrack and found out for sure it was Colin Hay.I did not realize he had such a good sound. Now I know I have purchased all his music and am unable to stop playing it day and night, just brilliant. With all the rubbish music that is around at the moment, I am so greatful there are brilliant musicians like Colin Hay to keep me feeling good. Please never stop making this brilliant music Colin.
underrated peace
author: Sally GoldnerThe title (or the album and this review) sum it up perfectly. Relaxing and peaceful music with thought-provoking lyrics from an underrated songwriter (from an Australian perspective up there with Paul Kelly, Richard Clapton, Graham Connors any day).
A Must listen
author: MikePikeA highly underated artist. Don't think he's goofy because of his affiliation with men at work. Great lyrics and music. Great for winding it down. By the way..CD BABY IS GREAT!!! You won't find a better price.
excellent road trip music
author: Coleen TaylorOriginally bought this CD after I heard the title track on XM & thought it would be a great song for a spin workout. If I Go is definitely a song everyone can relate to and has very catchy hooks. Thanks to CD Baby, I found this CD after searching 5 other music vendors. (shoulda come here first!)
Love it.
