\"\"<\/a>Self described as \u201cthat old guy with a beard\u201d, Jamie Hay is a name that would be well familiar amongst those into the local Aussie punk rock scene, with past bands including Conation, A Death In The Family, Fear Like Us.\u00a0 For some, myself included, your very first introduction to \u201cthat old guy with a beard\u201d could very well be through this, his debut solo album.\u00a0 A largely acoustic guitar driven album, having been recorded in the bleakness of a Tasmanian winter, the well worn and at times haunting vocals of Hay propel the lyrical tales of resilience, courage, heartbreak and tragedy, in a way that musically portrays this bleakness.\u00a0 So don\u2019t let the King Of The Sun <\/em>album title fool you into thinking this is breezy, summery, jangly acoustic driven rock.<\/p>\n

Old Photograph <\/em>kicks things off with a driving, powerful acoustic backbone and is by far one of the albums heaviest songs in a musical sense.\u00a0 Rabbit On <\/em>is no less powerful than the opener, but this time it\u2019s the dominance of Hay\u2019s vocals which provide that power, whilst his impassioned pleas on Wounds <\/em>are downright haunting.\u00a0 Newcastle <\/em>offers up recognition of Hay\u2019s origins in yep, you guessed it, Newcastle\u2026\u00a0 Interlude <\/em>is just that, a 1 minute highly enjoyable instrumental guitar piece.\u00a0 With a slight country twang and the albums most immediate chorus, One More Lament <\/em>reminds me of a cross between the Gin Blossoms and Something For Kate, my favourite track on the album, yep, I think this is it.\u00a0 Whilst acoustic guitar is the weapon of choice throughout this whole album, the appealing thing is there is enough variation in song style from track to track to really hold listener interest.\u00a0 Hand In The Quicksand <\/em>introduces mandolin into the mix, however the a Capella of The Gift Of The Years <\/em>drops the guitars all together.<\/p>\n

If you are a fan of Hay\u2019s past work, then I\u2019m sure you\u2019re all over this release already, however for those with a love for acoustic driven folk\/punk rock, then this is an album most definitely worthy of checking out!\u00a0 In fact, you can do so right here, through this link: http:\/\/hobbledehoy.bandcamp.com\/album\/king-of-the-sun<\/a><\/p>\n
