"Hard Sun" was the calling card of Indio, the name Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Peterson recorded under. He wrote it and sang it, and it was the first single from Big Harvest, the only album he ever made. It climbed to 10 on the Canadian chart, and SOCAN, handing out its honors in 1990, ranked it among 1989's ten most popular Canadian songs, in the company of tracks by Blue Rodeo, Bruce Cockburn, Alannah Myles, Glass Tiger and Ian Thomas. Not a bad crowd for a songwriter with a single record to his name.
