(2001)"Say It Is So" is the fifth solo album by
New Zealand singer/songwriterTim Finn .After the release of Before & After Finn was left without a record company but with a lot of inspiration. He met producer
Jay Joyce inNashville , TN in 1998 with whom he worked. The problem was that there was still no label willing to release Finn's work. In the end this album was released independently.Track listing
