While he'll forever be remembered as the hard-living, harder-rocking frontman of iconic blue-collar champions Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes has had an equally successful solo career in the 30 years since that band's dissolution. Debuting with Bodyswerve in 1984, Barnes has since racked up 10 No. 1 albums in Australia, which puts him in the company of The Beatles and Madonna. He's the consummate workingman's hero, offering a driving rock sound that descends from Springsteen and Billy Joel. This is music that demands to be listened to in blue jeans.
