Jimmy Barnes has revealed that his next tour will be the ‘Hell of a Time’ tour to mark the ‘Flesh and Wood’ album 30th anniversary. The tour will commence in Perth in June.
‘Hell of a Time’ will feature both electric and acoustic Jimmy performances. The ‘Flesh and Wood’ album was released on 17 December 1993. It was an all-acoustic album with eight duets with Joe Cocker, Tommy Emmanuel, Diesel, Don Walker, Deborah Conway, Archie Roach, Ross Wilson and The Badloves. The Badloves collaboration of The Band classic ‘The Weight’ was the album’s hit song.
‘Hell of a Time’ was written by Ross Wilson.
Jimmy has already announced his return for three rescheduled Red Hot Summer shows in April for Hunter Valley Launceston and Bendigo and was also added to Bluesfest last weekend.
Jimmy’s Red Hot Summer dates are:
Saturday, 6 April 2024 Roche Estate, Hunter Valley NSW
Saturday, 13 April 2024 Country Club Lawns, Launceston TAS
Saturday, 27 April 2024 Bendigo Racecourse, Bendigo VIC
“The Hell of a Time Tour is shaping up to be something special. It’s going to be intimate and its going to be a lot of fun. I’m going to play a bunch of my favourite tunes – and when songs are this good its great to strip them back to the bare bones and really tell the stories. We think its going to feel like you guys are sitting in our lounge room. I know you’ll love it.”
