Gathering Mercury is the 2011 solo album from singer/songwriter extraordinaire Colin Hay. While many may best know him from his days as frontman for Men At Work, his solo career, while not exactly prolific, has shown more sincerity, depth and maturity than anything he did with the band. And besides, that was then, this is now!
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.
