Liberation Music is delighted to announce details for Jimmy Barnes’ forthcoming album The Rhythm And The Blues, the outstanding new chapter in his soul trilogy, which started back in 1991.
And just as he did with the unforgettable, mega-selling Soul Deep and Soul Deeper albums, Jimmy Barnes once again takes us for a ride in the musical time machine. But rather than being a follow up to those multi-platinum selling Soul albums, it’s more like a prequel.
Rock and roll, born in the 1950s and ‘60s, mixed with a splash of soul and swing and complemented by that magical secret ingredient throughout – the rhythm and the blues.
Armed with a band of sizzling session musos in LA and with trusty US producer Don Gehman (Soul Deep, Soul Deeper) at the helm, Barnes respectfully channels the spirit of yesteryear’s music giants, putting his best foot forward and letting rip … as he always does.
To date Jimmy Barnes has released over 25 albums. The combination of fourteen Australian Top 40 albums for Cold Chisel and twelve charting solo albums gives Jimmy the highest number of hit albums of ANY Australian artist.
THE BUSHFIRE INITIATIVE
The news of Jimmy’s new album also coincides with the announcement that the Victorian Bushfire initiative Jimmy ran earlier this year, selling his album ‘Live At The Enmore’ exclusively through iTunes for just $3.39 (with every cent going to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal Fund) raised an impressive $23,000!
Jimmy’s upcoming tour of Australia kicks off on July 31 and Melbourne and will feature a sneak preview of material from The Rhythm and The Blues, which will be in stores August 28.
THE NEW CONCERT DATE
Due to overwhelming demand a second and final Jimmy Barnes concert has been added in Melbourne at the Palais Theatre on Friday 11th September. Featuring his hits as well as material from his new album, this additional concert is one last chance for fans to snap up tickets to see Jimmy live in concert. Tickets on sale from Monday 27th July. Get in early!
