Episode 148: Colin Hay (Men at Work)

Born in Scotland but moving to Australia by the age of 14, Colin Hay grew up around a music shop owned and operated by his parents, who sold everything from pianos to LP's. Finding worldwide success and a Grammy win in the early 80's with Men At Work, Colin has penned some of the most endearing songs of that decade ("Down Under," "Who Could It Be Now?," "Overkill") as well as unassuming yet emotionally resonant tracks since then, like "Waiting for My Real Life to Begin" and "I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You." His charm has always lied in crafting bleakly beautiful melodies, blanketed by lyrics that somehow find comfort in isolation or discomfort in new surroundings. On June 4th, Compass Records will release a 20th anniversary vinyl pressing of Colin's album Going Somewhere, and on today's show, Colin discusses the process in revisiting that material, how moving from Scotland to Australia was like changing "from black-and-white into technicolor," and how he became a member of Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band. Pre-order Going Somewhere from compassrecords.com and follow @ColinHay on Instagram for updates.
