Colin Hay Shares “A Man Without a Name”; New LP ‘Now and the Evermore’ Out Friday 3/18

This Friday, March 18, Colin Hay will add to his solo catalog with a new record titled Now and the Evermore.

The third and final track shared ahead of the album’s release turned up earlier this week — listen to “A Man Without a Name” below:

“It was really just an idea I had whenever I played the little musical idea that I had initially, which was just like going from a major chord to a sixth,” said Hay on the story behind this latest song. “It just reminded me of Elvis. For some reason, I kept thinking about Elvis, but then I just had the idea of it being about Elvis as a ghost who is wandering around and knowing that he was very, very powerful and iconic, but wasn’t quite sure of all the details. I quite like that idea. And I think with a lot of songs, you put things out there and people travel down little different roads that the song takes them to. So it’s quite a vague idea that song in particular, it’s not about anything specific, it’s just like little ideas that perhaps people can make of it what they will.”
