I’m born & bread in Elizabeth, grew up just down the the road from the Karawara Hotel. My husband worked at Holden’s for 23 years. Thank you Jimmy we 💛 you.

[@bruceisacat]

Just magnificent, passion, story, conviction, seen no better, ever...

[@PatriotGuitarSlinger]

This is the best version I've heard from Jimmy. Nice clean vocals

[@officialWWM]

Awesome Jimmy. You still know how to connect with the average working Aussie!

[@357HFC]

Are you saying TCD is an Average working Aussie. Sorry just my attempt at humour. Great song Written by a great Aussie for (and partly about) another great Aussie 9albeit Glasgow born) Muso.

[@robborobertson5187]

Awesome song and performance, brings tears to my eyes.

[@danielwiggins5739]

What a song... beautifully done... Great harmonies

[@357HFC]

Two wonderful Australian artists. Thank you, Troy, you nailed the lyrics and music for Jimmy.

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Beautiful song! I don't know why it makes me cry, as I'm not from Australia. 😢

[@rebeccagreen2219]

it makes you cry cause Jimmy can connect with our souls, everyone's mate, Australian or not.

[@geeclatters6121]

Think the same things happening to towns that relied on the auto industry all over not just Australia.

[@jasoncarpp7742]

@@geeclatters6121 I agree. It's been happening here in the USA. Sadly, this has been happening since the early 1980s. I remember hearing on the news about car makers in the USA closing down factories, not only in Detroit, but also in Dearborn, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, wherever cars were being built in the USA, it was happening. So yeah, this song could apply to anywhere in the world. It's sad, but it's true. Whether you work for the auto industry, have family who work for the industry, you are affected by what the auto industry does. 😢

Same here I’m from Adelaide born and bred but now I’m in tassie 18 years later and this song hits very hard I’m so glad your still going jimmy keep the good songs coming legend ❤

[@officialWWM]

I’m from Tassie too :)

[@benedwards3571]

Although the sentiments in this track are universally relatable, there's a jagged knife edge in this song that if you are from Elizabeth is deeply cutting.

[@lancespina2472]

Troy is up there with Paul Kelly as one of the best storytellers in Australia. Great song!

[@dustechos]

You and Troy are my heros!! I love your music, your passion..running in your veins. I'm hopeless and am bloody crying listening to this, but that's what muso do..we are all emotional messes😂..thank goodness for the ability to play music, I'm not sure who I would be..Thank you again boys💗

This song is how I feel, Thanks Jimmy, my favorite Jimmy song.

[@Fefetun91]

Thank U for this moment Mister JB !

[@jasoncarpp7742]

I love the fact that we can still comment on videos. For some reason, some you tube channels have shut down the comment section so that we cannot comment on the video and say how much we love the songs. WTH?! 😡

[@leecoates4082]

major respect for jimmy grew up hard and became the man many a boy can look up to best replacement as a role model for all us kids who came from loser dads

[@mrboppah]

Love it. I was waiting for this to come out with just these 2 (and the other guitarist). Jimmy and Troy might remember me sitting in the 4kq studio in Brisbane with them doing Bird on a Wire with Mahalia in the studio as well about 12 or so years ago (probably not 😂). One of my highlights of working there. Sounds great, love the song.

[@tiarepapara]

WWWW! thx Jimmy, very m' i like your Acoustic version.

[@rocketrod1444]

Is it an FB or EK , maybe an EH or HR ...... HQ or WB ..... ? oh no its the mighty JB. Outstanding , makes me wanna go and Mr.Sheen my hub caps.

you can sometimes still hear the noise from the Karawara from the house Jimmy lived in. i know this because i live across the road from the trust house.

Two absolute bloody legends. An indictment to failed govt policies. But a bloody good song. Deserves greater exposure.

[@benedwards3571]

I pray every day for the incredibly special people from the north of Adelaide.

[@leightranter4758]

Unfortunately mate it rips places apart. Same thing happened here in Victoria where I live in a small town. We had knitting mills, book printers,Allen's lollies, and other big companies in manufacturing all close within 5 years of each other in the 90's. Nearly 30 years later the place still hasn't recovered

[@benedwards3571]

People focus on the political conertations of this track, completely understandable. But there is second layer which is the achohol abuse, mental illness, and the redicule we continue to endure not just locally, but from the interstate 'butt' of the joke. This cheap comedy needs to stop.

[@benjaminjobson924]

Like the triple m version better. Less produced

[@SHUMI1986]

RIP Holden
