Most of you might already know that the Jimmy Barnes 1991 ‘Soul Deep’ album is not only the biggest seller in his already illustrious solo career, but was also the most successful in Mushroom Records history.
Containing a stellar list of smash-hit soul covers such as ‘I Gotcha’ and ‘River Deep, Mountain High’ alongside Motown classics ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’, ‘Reflections’ and ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours)’ it was as successful as it was ground breaking back in the day and as we all know a raft of soul tribute albums has followed in its extraordinary wake.
He followed that up with the very successful ‘Soul Deeper’ album in 2000 which was again peppered with soul gems like ‘Chain Of Fools’ and ‘Hold On, I’m Comin’’ along with new tributes to Motown via ‘Dancing In The Street’ ‘Ain’t Too Proud To Beg’ and ‘What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted’.
And now some nine years later, Jimmy is about to do it all again!
The Rhythm & The Blues is where rock ‘n’ roll and modern soul started back in the 50’s and 60’s and this is the title of the new Jimmy Barnes album which is scheduled for release August 28, 2009.
