- Jimmy Barnes announces live album Modus Operandi, recorded at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion
My Criminal Record / Modus Operandi (Live At The Hordern Pavilion 2019) will be released as a limited edition 2CD, and for digital download on 29 November 2019
After just finishing
the massive Shutting Down Your Town national tour of Australia and New Zealand,
Jimmy Barnes
hasn’t paused for breath as he announces a special and limited re-package of
his #1 album My Criminal
Record.
For a strictly limited time, the album (which has already spawned the hits ‘Shutting Down Our Town’ and ‘I Won’t Let You Down’) will include Modus Operandi, a brand new
17 song live recording from the Hordern Pavilion concert in Sydney on October
5th 2019.
The Shutting Down Your Town tour saw Jimmy power through his biggest solo gigs
since the early 1990s, hitting venues like Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena,
Brisbane’s Riverstage, and Adelaide’s Entertainment Centre.
The live album was recorded with his acclaimed touring band – Daniel Wayne
Spencer, Benjamin Rodgers, Clayton Doley, Lachlan Doley, Michael Hegerty and
Jackie Barnes. The line-up was augmented on the tour by family band members
Jane, Mahalia, E.J and Elly-May Barnes and piper Douglas McFarland.
And in a first for Jimmy Barnes, he invited fans on this tour to send in their
own photos to be included in the CD Booklet. One winner, plus an additional 5
finalists, will have their photos showcased in the deluxe 20 page CD booklet,
and each fan who submitted photos will have their names included.
Modus Operandi
features 7 songs from My
Criminal Record, alongside Barnesy’s many live concert staples such
as ‘Working Class Man’, ‘Lay Down Your Guns’, ‘No Second Prize’ and ‘Khe Sanh’.
The sound of My Criminal
Record is immediate: live, loud, and in your face. That same M.O.
has been brought to the live album. And like My
Criminal Record, Modus Operandi was produced by long-time Jimmy
Barnes studio wizz, Kevin Shirley.
Jimmy says, “This tour has meant a lot to me. It’s
really the climax of nearly a decade spent confronting my demons and using
words and music to come to terms with them. At all of these shows I can feel
the audience picking me up and putting me on their shoulders, so I wanted to
release one of the shows from this memorable tour to say thanks to everyone who
was there, and to let everyone else know what they missed.”
My Criminal Record / Modus
Operandi (Live At The Hordern Pavilion 2019) will be released as a limited edition 2CD, and for digital download, on
29 November 2019 through Bloodlines.
