Jimmy Barnes has announced a stripped back, national theatre tour – Hell of a Time – to take place through late July. After bouncing back from open heart surgery late last year, and already delivering a memorable Byron Bluesfest performance and announcing a run of Australian dates, The Hell of a Time New Zealand Tour will see Jimmy in up close and personal mode. Telling short stories and tall tales as well as singing some of his favourite songs, including tracks from the Flesh and Wood album.
Flesh and Wood was Jimmy’s seventh solo album and entered the Australian charts at #2 in December 1993. It went on to garner triple platinum sales, spending eight weeks in the Top 10 and four months 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.
