Jimmy Barnes - Flesh And Blood

Flesh And Blood is the nineteenth studio album by Australian singer songwriter Jimmy Barnes, released in July 2021 via Bloodlines.

Flesh And Blood is the new album from Jimmy Barnes, featuring the single of the same name. Flesh And Blood is about the unbreakable bonds that bind us to our families through all of life’s ups and downs. These connections flowed through the creation of new music; Jimmy’s wife, son, daughters and son-in-law all contributed to the writing and recording of the album.

The album is produced by long time Barnes collaborator Kevin “Caveman” Shirley and a number of the songs were co-written with his son-in-law Diesel.

The title track was released on 25 March 2021 as the album's lead single, and he premiered the song at Michael Gudinski's state funeral on 24 March, at the request of Gudinski's son Matt.

Barnes said "It's about the unbreakable bonds that bind us to our families through all of life's ups and the downs. Without Jane, my kids and grandkids I wouldn't be here today. The song has taken on an extra meaning for our family since Michael's passing. When I say he was a brother to me, I mean that in every sense. We could drive each other nuts sometimes but there was always a deep and loving connection there. I was so excited when I played the single to Michael. He was really pumped about it and we were both really looking forward to sharing this new record together."

This album is a limited edition on 180 gram on blood red coloured vinyl with a printed inner sleeve, pressed in Australia via Bloodlines.
