About this album

For The Working Class Man distils Jimmy Barnes’ hard-rock power into one of Australian rock’s defining statements. Issued in 1985, it cemented his post-Cold Chisel solo identity with a tougher, more expansive sound built for arenas, while keeping the muscular, blue-collar edge that made him a national figure. The title track became his signature song and a lasting anthem, helping turn Barnes from a successful rock vocalist into a true mainstream icon. Balancing bombast, melody and grit, the release captures the moment when his solo career found its most recognisable voice.

Genre: Pop & Rock
