My Take
Colin Hay fascinates me as a survivor of pop's most fickle currents. Most people know him as the voice of Men at Work, but what I respect is the long second act he built as a solo artist, quietly releasing thoughtful records long after the hits faded. There is a wry, melancholy warmth to his songwriting that feels distinctly his own. That he still tours and even sits in with Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band speaks to a craftsman who never chased trends. I will take an artist who keeps making honest music over a flash-in-the-pan any day, and Hay is exactly that.
