Jimmy Barnes: hell of a time tour

Jimmy Barnes at Michael Fowler Centre, Wellington

Jimmy’s first performance following his heart surgery was an early evening, unique performance at Bluesfest in Byron Bay on Easter Sunday, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the release of his Flesh and Wood album.

Flesh and Wood was Jimmy’s seventh solo album and entered the New Zealand charts at #9 in December 1993. It went on to garner triple platinum sales, spending five weeks in the Top 50. Flesh and Wood featured duets with the likes of Joe Cocker, Diesel, Ross Wilson, Don Walker, The Badloves and Archie Roach, with four singles released from the album: The Weight, a Top 10 hit, followed by You Can’t Make Love Without A Soul, Still Got A Long Way To Go and It Will Be Alright.
