 Jimmy Barnes Biography - AOL Music
Released in October 1984, the first Jimmy Barnes album Bodyswerve, was clearly the singer's attempt to grab Cold Chisel's audience and take them with him.
In the space of nine years, Barnes had recorded eight albums and toured almost constantly, not just to satisfy the singer's love of performing, but also to cater for his live-now pay-later lifestyle.
What followed became something of a pilgrimage for Barnes, a journey to the heart and home of the songs which shaped his tastes as a youngster, this time named Soul Deeper, and this time with musicians and singers who'd helped shape the real thing.

This title track of Jimmy’s lastrock studio album was almost an exorcism, a recounting of where his life had come to in terms of the extremities to which he had pushed himself and the nourishment that he had taken from his family.
It’s often been said that Jimmy was a man of extremes and in coming to know himself he embraced both those sides of his character.
This is kind of a tribute to Jimmy’s youth where the strutting glam of the early 70’s first attracted Jimmy to the life of a rocker.
