Jimmy Barnes Ft. Joe Bonamassa - Stone Cold | Vocalist From The UK Reacts

[@jemxs]

Joe the guitar maestro Bonamassa and Jimmy the gravel Barnes together, feeding off each other is just sublime! Great suggestion Kappy and great reaction Charlie. One of my favorites.

[@carolcarol3938]

Jimmy, an Aussie legend, has been singing like a gravel truck for years. Check out him with Cold Chisel doing "Wild Thing" live, in his early days......at the same time he can sound smooth and "almost" silky. PS: Jimmy is a dad of many ...some like Mahalia Barnes has followed in his singing footsteps

[@markphillips1177]

Life goals, eh Charlie? One of those tracks where you go in with sky-high expectations and still get gob-smacked. Quiet shout out to Don Walker, one of the great songwriters.

[@michaelfcooper5561]

Check out Jimmy's daughter Mahalia Barnes with Joe B in Riding with the King. Apple did not fall far from the tree. She is named after Mahalia Jackson and she lives up to it. Also Nasty Gal song too with Joe B.

Hey there Charlie, many of you reactors have said how rare and fantastic it is to find singers who can sing live without any bells and whistles, because they can actually sing. Well, the guitarist (Johnny Diesel) doing the solo in "When Something Is Wrong With my Baby" with Jimmy and John Farnham, gave one of the best raw performances possible, and it's exceptional, so thought you'd really like to hear it and react to it. Pure raw Aussie talent at it's finest in my opinion - Just Diesel, an acoustic guitar in a room, sitting on a couch and killing it. Keep on smiling and love your great work ❤ Diesel - 15Ft of Snow (German VH1 1995)

[@kelloneill74]

He's reacted to that one - click on his name and you'll see it :)

[@roslynjonsson2383]

@@kelloneill74 Hi, I went to look and the only Diesel tune I could find was with Farnsey and Barnsey, are you sure Charlie has reacted to Diesel solo as a late teen/early 20s ?

[@kelloneill74]

@@roslynjonsson2383 by the looks of it - I misread your post. You mentioned “Something is Wrong With my Baby” and said it was exceptional and that you’d thought he’d like to hear it. What you were really saying was that Diesel, who features in that track, has another performance that is exceptional. Sorry for the confusion!

I believe Barnsey was 58 when this was recorded. He’s just turned 66 and his voice is just as good. 🙂

[@linmonash1244]

That 'average dad' { SUPERSTAR! } has kept the strength and flexibility in his vocal apparatus by never stopping singing! It's not about age - it's about exercise! 😃 Jimmy has worked with numerous excellent musicians for decades [ Shout Out to the other great musicians in this clip ] and produced a huge Aussie Songbook of much loved classics, with his signature blend of tender croon and powerhouse grit and growl. On the topic of 'Dad Production' however, Jimmy has likewise been relatively 'prolific'. He has ALSO produced: (with just 'a smidgeon' of help from their mothers 😆} * a Son: [ David Campbell ] also a great singer, stage performer and currently national Breakfast Show presenter. David and Jimmy have performed together regularly and recorded Duets together. * a Daughter: [ Mahalia Barnes] singer, has her own solo albums and has also performed many times with Jimmy. * a Daughter: [ EJ (Elizabeth Jane) Barnes ] - ditto - EJ is also a well respected singer and actress * a Son: [ Jackie Barnes ] who is a drummer, keyboardist, singer and songwriter. has performed may times with Jimmy and is currently part of the Aussie rock band: Rose Tattoo. * a Daughter: [ Eli-May] who is also a singer, has performed with Jimmy and recorded duets with him ( ref. their work in his 'Double Happiness' album ) And belatedly - 2 more daughters: [Amanda & Megan ] have also forward to make themselves known to Jimmy - who's ever enlarging family has welcomed them wholeheartedly. And just in case that wasn't enough he also has - at latest count:- * 15 Grandchildren as well. Remains to be seen how many of these will come forward to shine in the arts as well. Undoubtedly with this heritage - we can anticipate quite a few!

[@carolynh8866]

Great reaction. And thanks Kappy for the request. Love this song Jimmy was about 58 here. His voice is still incredible ..you should check out Do you Love Me which he recorded with Josh Tesky this year when he was 66. Or Soothe Me which he also recorded this year with Aan 86 year on Sam Moore. Both of them are amazing 👏 😍

[@bernadettelanders7306]

Totally agree re Jimmy and Sam - another brilliant song between those two.

[@kredonystus7768]

As amazing as this is the version with Tina Arena is even better. And on your note of "all that vocal prowess" this is after he's done 50 years of damage to his vocal chords. Barnsey is one of the best vocalists Australia has made. When the War is Over really shows his insane range. Bow River & Wild Thing show the insane skill and fun Cold Chisel has on stage. Khe Sahn & Janelle show how much they emotion they have. Working Class Man is Australia's unofficial national anthem.

[@quiltygal6981]

Brilliant performance by Barnsey, if you are a Joe Bonamassa fan have you seen Riding with the kings? The soloist is Jimmys daughter Mahalia.

[@CameronKennedy-ky2rs]

Jimmy does a killer version of Chandelier by Sia, it's a must watch

[@clarkditter5975]

G'day. You may get some enjoyment from listening to Jimmy Barnes a bit more. Although he came to fame in Australia as a (somewhat wild) lead singer with Aussie rock band Cold Chisel (1973 - 1983), his solo career (1984 to present day) included an intended one-off foray into soul covers which instead became a significant part of his ongoing repertoire. Of the many songs to look at, I am suggesting a rather full-on version of "Change Is Gonna Come" (live 1984) from his early solo days. You may think that his singing on this one is a bit over-the-top or you may like it. I think it is great.

[@Stewart-k6d]

If you like guitarist check out tommy Emanuel and the song “classical gas”. Unbelievable

[@GeeeEm61]

Interesting that you said that Jimmy reminded you of Brian Johnson. There were many rumours circulating after Bon Scott's death, before Brian was announced as Bon's replacement, that Jimmy might have been a likely replacement.

[@geemac44]

Hey Charlie, also worth listening to Mal Eastick play the strings off his guitar throughout the Jimmy Barnes song ‘No Second Prize’ especially the close-out…great to say the least!

[@ozrucasa]

hHi youshould look at the band Cold Chisel, Jimmy was one of the singers in, with Ian Moss. Song Bow River there is a live 2003 version in round. excellent version

[@jlocke78759]

I really like this version of the song. On his album, 30:30 Hindsight, this song has the added vocals of Tina Arena. No disrespect to her, but I prefer this version.

[@utha2665]

Hey Charlie, once again, an amazing reaction. I have to go through your previous videos so I don't know if you have reacted to any of Jimmy's earlier work. He has changed genre quite markedly from his Cold Chisel days of hard rock to the more mellow tunes he does these days. I watched a doco on Jimmy years ago and they spoke of his voice from a medical sense and how he could maintain those raspy screams for so long without damaging his voice and from memory he makes far more use of his secondary vocal chords than others are even able to do. He certainly has a unique voice and I guess that goes towards his longevity. On another note, if you want a really powerful song lyrically, check out I Was Ony 19 by Redgum, it's about the song writer's brother in-law that served in Vietnam and the affects of PTSD. It was this song released in 1983 that got people interested in getting the Vietnam Vets recognised by the Australian Government just a few years later. There's been a lot written about this song so there's quite a bit of history about the lyrics and the meaning as well as interviews with people that served with his brother in-law. Avery emotional song for me and many Australians, not to mention others around the world that have served, kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5jQmKqubJyiqdk
