Working Class Boy : A Memoir of Running Away : 7 Audio CDs Included

Working Class Boy : A Memoir of Running Away : 7 Audio CDs Included

 
Raw, gritty, compassionate, surprising and darkly funny - Australian legend, Jimmy Barnes's unforgettable childhood memoir.

Long before Cold Chisel and Barnesy, long before the success and excess, there was the true story of James Dixon Swan - a working class boy whose family made the journey from Scotland to Australia in search of a better life.

Working Class Boy is a powerful reflection on a traumatic and violent childhood, which fuelled the excess and recklessness that would define, but almost destroy, the rock'n'roll legend. This is the story of how James Swan became Jimmy Barnes. It is a memoir burning with the frustration and frenetic energy of teenage sex, drugs, violence and ambition for more than what you have.

Warning: Strong Violence, Themes and Coarse Language

About the Author

Jimmy Barnes is the heart and the soul of Australian rock & roll. After 40 years on stages of all kinds, Jimmy is an icon - his nickname 'Barnsey' conjures up thoughts of rock music at an ear-splitting volume, and of soul standards given a unique reading. Jimmy has been through it all, and lived to tell the tale and that has earned him a place in Australia's heart and heartland. Along the way he has sold more records in Australia than any other domestic rock & roll artist. Jimmy's live shows are legendary for their intensity.
