"A great collection of soul and motown classics from a great voice. Barnesy has been around for a while and digs his voice off a gravel road. A great group of players. Some of Australia's best. This is one of those albums you can thrash forever."

Smooth transition

"From Australia's premier rocker. He belted out songs as frontman of Cold Chisel and is still belting them out with his very successful solo career so how does a cd of soul music sound with the Barnes touch? Excellent! Jimmy adds a new dimention to already classic songs and even teams up with other popular Aussies like Diesel and John Farnham. The key to this cd is that Jimmy performs the tracks as Jimmy Barnes not as someone trying to mimic others. Still big Barnes sound but this time with less guitar and a bit more brass backup. He stays true to the original recordings but just spices them up and gets them rocking. A surprisingly fantastic recording and his follow up (Soul Deeper) is just as good."
