JIMMY BARNES - SHUTTING DOWN OUR TOWN (FEAT. TROY CASSAR-DALEY)
[LIVE AND ACOUSTIC FROM THE BACKLOT]

(single out now through Bloodlines)

Recorded live at South Melbourne’s Backlot Studios, the song features Jimmy Barnes on lead vocals, Troy on guitar and vocals, and long-time Barnes stalwart Daniel Wayne Spencer on guitar. It was mixed by Kevin Shirley. 

Jimmy explains the story behind the song - “It’s sort of a heartland ‘Working Class Man’ anthem, but ‘Working Class Man’ was written by an American [Jonathan Cain]. This was written by Troy Cassar-Daley who’s writing about the darker side of Australia which I never wanted to face before. So it’s like the bookend to ‘Working Class Man’, but for me, it’s the real story.”

‘Shutting Down Our Town’ is taken from Jimmy Barnes’ album My Criminal Record, which was released last month. Upon release, the album shot straight to the top of the ARIA Charts, becoming Jimmy’s 12th solo #1 album – breaking the record for the most #1s by one artist ever. This September, Jimmy will embark on the Shutting Down Your Town national tour, his largest tour this century.
