Jimmy Barnes Releases New Rock Version Of ‘I Gotcha’

Jimmy Barnes has reconstructed his 1991 Joe Tex cover ‘I Gotcha’ with the 2022 edition sounding more Aerosmith than the Tex original.

“I Gotcha was the lead single of Soul Deep when I first released the album. For Soul Deep 30, we shook it up with a few guitars. See what you think,” Jimmy posted to his socials.
