HAY, COLIN
Gathering Mercury (Limited Edition)
GATHERING MERCURY is a portrait of Colin Hay the performer, songwriter, and recording artist and-perhaps most importantly-the man behind the persona. The lyrics reveal the emotional peaks and valleys of the past year during which time Hay lost his father, but Hay stands the test of a true artist and demonstrates his ability to marry immediacy and depth without being maudlin or sacrificing the pop accessibility for which he is known.
