"I cannot believe that he has done it again! Another album that blows you away! Although, I don't think anything can match his "Looking For Jack" (which I keep locked up like gold because it took my almost 10 years to find again!) album, this is excellent work again!"

ACOUSTIC COLIN HAY--A TREAT

"Acoustic versions of his favorites. No "Men at Work" stuff, but some excellent songs and singing. Colin Hay is an undiscovered country of talent. Buy his other solo albums: "Transcendental Highway," "Topanga," "Wayfaring Sons," and "Looking for Jack." Treat yourself, buy this album!Alex G. Oklahoma City, OK"

Songsmithing at it's best

"When I could only get Colin Hay's solo releases from a little record store in Brisbane by mail order, I'd buy anything that I could get my hands on sight unseen or heard. One of the discs that I was sent was "Peaks and Valleys", and next to "Wayfaring Sons", it's one of my favorite recordings. Primarily an acoustic album, it's filled with thoughtful and intelligent lyrics penned by a true romantic. Though it isn't really fair to compare musicians of Hays caliber, I find that the same qualities that I enjoy in songs by James Taylor are very evident in Colin's music. Just listen to "Sometimes I wish" and if it doesn't bring a wistful tear to your eye,then ignore any other recommendation that I ever write."
