Harvesting
The harvest moon tonight reminded me of the Indio album Big Harvest, which reminded me to search the web for info about whatever happened to Gordon Peterson. Though another artist used the name Indio to record an entirely different album, Gordon/Indio only released that one as far as I knew.
Well, it seems there really isn't any other music by him available after all. Just one haunting album (plus one non-album bonus track and one alternate version of the first single) and a disappearance into obscurity. But even with such minimal output and nothing heard from him since 1989, the guy still has some dedicated fans. He even learned about the fans and figured he'd give a short explanation: "The short answer is I did not at the time, have whatever type of personality it required to endure the dark valleys that occur all too often in the business. It overwhelmed me and that was that. I am very much alive, healthy and well. I continue to write and record, and someday I plan to release my work to date but really have no time frame or finality to it."
If you're curious what the music sounded like, go to that link above, find the message from "gordonsoulfood" and follow directions to get into the briefcase. Though the original version of "Hard Sun" had drums and Joni Mitchell, and "Sand Through My Hands" doesn't fit with the album, you can still get a sense of the music's appeal.
