Search - Neil Finn :: Try Whistling This/One Nil

Both Neil Finn solo albums (excluding a live album) on one CD. Try Whistling This came out in 1998 after the breakup of Crowed House, while One Nil was the followup in 2001. For his first solo record, Try Whistling This, Finn made an intentional effort to distance himself from Crowded House (hence the title, daring listeners to find catchy tunes), dabbling with new textures and collaborating with Midnight Oil guitarist Jim Moginie on some songs. After that more experimental approach, One Nil is a return to the song-based approach of Crowded House, although Finn?s aiming for more subtle material here; it?s not overtly commercial and instead, these songs are more personal, often touchingly about his love for his wife. EMI. 2005.
