As they say… when it rains, it pours!
While the rock ‘n roll circus is well and truly back on the road – this time with Cold Chisel celebrating their 50th anniversary – singer, songwriter, musician and author, Jimmy Barnes is celebrating the release of his new book, Highways & Byways: Tall tales and short stories from the long way round. The genre bending collection of short stories is released today through HarperCollins Australia.
From larger-than-life adventures to vivid and poignant tales of the imagination, no one tells a yarn quite like Jimmy Barnes and Highways and Byways will take you on another enthralling tour, this one complete with the odd detour, and a roundabout or two, through the life of one of this country’s most successful and beloved artists.
Jimmy explains, “It’s probably quite fitting that I’m releasing a book right in the middle of one of my biggest tours, as this book is a collection of stories of experiences shared with friends throughout my journey in life – a lot of which has been on the road with my Cold Chisel bandmates.”
Charming, personal and poignant, Highways and Byways is a collection that celebrates Jimmy’s Scottish heritage, family, friends, music and the adventure of a grand life.
