Indio - Hard Sun

Details

Description

Very cool song by Gordon Peterson, joined by legendary fellow Canadian Joni Mitchell, and British Musician Peter Gabriel.

Big Harvest took two months to record, involving several high-profile artists including Hamiltonian Bill Dillon and David Rhodes (Peter Gabriel) on guitars. Larry Klein played bass. Brenda Russell, also of Hamilton, sang background vocals, as did Joni Mitchell.

Other collaborators included Indian violinist L. Subramaniam. "Hard Sun" was released as the lead-off single from the album, with a stripped-down acoustic version of the song on the record's B-side.
"Hard Sun" was a top 10 hit in Canada, peaking at #10 in September, 1989.

Peterson, who was sensitive to industry demands, walked away from the business shortly after Indio's release. He was conflicted by a love to create music and the expectations imposed upon him.

In 2007, Indio issued a new song, entitled "This Way Down", to a small number of fans and friends. The song features creative, at-home-studio techniques including a unique vocal recording accompanied by an electric guitar.

The singer said that his eye for nature and conservation came from working on his grandfather's tobacco farm in Canada as a child.
