| Jimmy Barnes - For The Working Class Man |
|
For The Working Class Man was recorded in New York and Los Angeles, with the intention to launch Jimmy Barnes to the American market. It debuted at number 1 on the Australian charts and remained there for seven weeks. For The Working Class Man was originally released in 1985 as a Double Vinyl album - but several versions have been re-released on compact disc since then. Mick Fleetwood provided drums for some songs on the album.
I'd Die To Be With You Tonight
Jimmy Barnes said this about his voice in an interview for Enough Rope: "I've got a unique instrument. I remember a couple of years back I was doing some TV shit like 'Hey Hey It's Saturday' and they had some vocal teacher out from America - this famous vocal teacher who'd taught all sorts of people. And she came in and I was warming up. And my warm-up is...sort of peels the paint off walls. Um, you know, and I was warming up and she burst into my dressing room and said, "That's how a rock'n'roll singer should warm up." You know, "That's what you're gonna do, that's how you..." And so, like, I thought, "Maybe I'm doing the right thing after all." I'd lost my voice one time, a long, long time ago, with the flu. And it was a big show I had to cancel, so we had to go for insurance. And they put an optical fibre camera down the back of my nose and had me singing and talking. And they said to me... They said that when I sing, I don't use my vocal cords. You have your two main vocal cords like this, and then around them you have these false cords. And apparently, when I sing... This guy said I was one of about half a dozen people he's ever seen in the world who have taught themselves to sing like this. And so I get to the point where I can't speak because I use my vocal cords to speak, but I can still sing. So, um, you know, I just don't lose my voice. It's like a... My voice is like a Mack truck. It's hard to start and then you can't stop it.
