Soundtracks Announced For Upcoming Jimmy Barnes Documentary

Two soundtracks have been unveiled for Jimmy Barnes’ upcoming Working Class Boy feature-length documentary, both including a number of covers, instrumentals, powerful spoken word pieces and special guests.

The August 17 soundtrack release will be split across two albums, the first of which features an “intimate and raw set” recorded live at State Theatre last year and includes guest appearances from his daughter Mahalia, son David Campbell and brother-in-law Diesel, all of whom help bring “his childhood story to life”.

The second album will feature eight songs created live with a full band on a soundstage for the film and sees the Cold Chisel legend team up with Richard Tognetti and the Australian Chamber Orchestra on the Randy Newman’s Texas Girl At The Funeral Of Her Father and more.
