American Sunshine by Colin Hay

American Sunshine is the tenth solo album by Scottish-born, Australian-based singer Colin Hay, released on 18 August 2009. As with all of Colin Hay's music, American Sunshine contains largely personal songs; for example, "There's Water Over You" describes Hay's relationship with his parents. Unlike Going Somewhere, the tracks of American Sunshine are backed by Hay's band. This move away from minimalist, acoustic music is something Colin Hay established with his previous album, Man @ Work. However, Hay performs a great many of these tracks solo at his live appearances.
