What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



A gift from a mate. Can't believe how popular this guy was down under. Both with Cold Chisel (14 albums) and as a solo artist (13 albums, 9 #1's). Barely heard of here in the states. This compilation album covers the hits from those solo albums from '84 to '95. Six more solo albums since this release, the last in 2010. Some nice guest appearances over the years, INXS, Tina Turner, Mick Fleetwood, Kim Carnes, Neal Schon, Randy Jackson, Brian Setzer. Guess Jimmy knew some people. When I was listening to the Cold Chisel album a few weeks back, I was trying to think of who Jimmy's voice reminded me of. The appearance of Journey's Neal Schon on here nailed it, dead ringer. Side note, didn't know Neal was a member of Santana prior to Journey. That's why I love doing this. I always learn something. Three love tracks on the album along with three I do not like, evens it out to a moderate like. Of curse the album hit #1 in Australia, and it did hit the charts here at #74.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Ride The Night Away

Best Track - Stone Cold

When I get home I found you sleeping
I said the words you know are true
And I'm stoned, stone cold in love with you

You don't have to turn the light on
Ain't had more than just a few
And I'm stoned, I'm stone cold in love with you
You don't have to wonder why now
Look at all the things you've been to me
I'll build my whole life on the sweet foundation
You've given, baby you know what I mean

I left my friends back in the poolroom
They'll still be drowning out the blues
I'm stoned, I'm stone cold in love with you

You don't have to wonder why
Look at all the things you've been
My heart lies on the sweet foundation
You'v given, baby you know what I mean

I see your face below the window
I see the moonlight coming through
And I'm stoned, I'm stone cold in love with you
Yes I'm stoned, I'm stone cold in love with you
