1990 Original From The Former Men At Work Frontman. Custom Hype Sticker On Front Cover And Gold Promo Stamp On Back Cover. "Wayfaring Sons" is an album by Colin Hay, released in 1990, following his tenure as the lead vocalist and guitarist for the iconic Australian band Men at Work. This release marked Hay's evolution from the frontman of a globally recognized band to a solo artist exploring new musical landscapes. The album showcases Hay’s signature storytelling and introspective lyricism, with themes drawn from his own experiences of displacement and identity.

"Wayfaring Sons" diverges from the rock and new wave sound that characterized Men at Work, instead embracing a more acoustic and folk-rock approach. This stylistic shift reflects Hay's personal and artistic growth, offering listeners a more intimate and authentic sound. Tracks like "Into My Life" and "Dream On (In The Night)" highlight Hay's distinctive voice and penchant for crafting relatable narratives.

The production, led by Hay and Wolfgang Brandmeier, provides a clean and cohesive sound that underscores the sincerity of the album’s content. "Wayfaring Sons" stands as a testament to Colin Hay's ability to adapt and flourish as a solo artist, making it a compelling listen for both long-time fans and newcomers.
