The all-new SOUL SEARCHIN’ – the fourth and definitive instalment in Jimmy Barnes’ tribute to the music that made him want to be a singer in the first place.
SOUL SEARCHIN’ is Jimmy Barnes searching out the people and places and forgotten songs that helped shape him as an artist. The ultimate result is a thumping set of great classic soul songs from the ’50s and ’60s that most of us have never heard before.
SOUL SEARCHIN’ is the sound of Jimmy Barnes claiming these forgotten gems as his own, recorded in Nashville at one of the traditional homes of soul, the legendary Grand Victor Studio, with Jimmy backed by one of the greatest soul ensembles ever assembled.
“I’ve called this new album SOUL SEARCHIN’ because it’s been one of those years, in more ways than one!” says Jimmy, who spent much of the past year writing his soon-to-be-released autobiography, in between his usual hectic solo show schedule and recording and touring with Cold Chisel.
The search is over. The latest and last word in soul.
