Title: Songsmithing at it's best
Review: 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.
