Reviewer: Rod Strachan

In 1991 Jimmy Barnes released an album titled “Soul Deep”. This departure from the distinguished front man of Australian rock was a tip of the hat to his soul & R’N’B roots growing up as a kid. This album his 5^th solo album following the Last Stand of Australia’s premier rock act Cold Chisel. To date some thirty plus years on is his highest selling album including an astonishing ARIA certified 10 times platinum. 

The expanded and ready for release titled Soul Deep “30” will help bolster sales for one of our favourite son’s masterpieces. Alongside the 12 original Soul Deep recordings, which have been remastered by Bob Ludwig and with additional production from Don Gehman, Soul Deep 30 includes 4 brand-new recordings: ‘Soothe Me’ (a blistering version of the 1967 Sam & Dave classic, featuring the legendary Sam Moore himself), ‘Do You Love Me’ (with the soulful vocals of The Teskey Brothers’ Josh Teskey), ‘Reflections’ (with the unmistakable vocals and guitar stylings of Ian Moss), and a brand-new rock version of ‘I Gotcha’. 

Soul Deep saw Jimmy Barnes foray into the soul genre for the first time, putting his unique spin on timeless classics of the soul genre, including the massive hit singles ‘When Something Is Wrong With My Baby’, ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’, and ‘I Gotcha’. 

Soul Deep is one of Australia’s highest-selling albums of all-time, with almost 1 million copies sold.
