Barnsy has been keeping busy, recording the new album in Nashville at one of the historic homes of soul, the prominent Grand Victor Studio. It follows Soul Deep (1991), Soul Deeper (2000) and The Rhythm and the Blues (2009) which have together earned the blazing vocalist more than 12 ARIA Platinum Sales Awards.
Accompanying the album will be the release of a documentary, which follows his travels across America’s South, on a mission to rediscover the country’s long lost soul gems.
Barnes will tour the album in six cities across Australia, notably returning to Melbourne’s Palais Theatre where he performed songs from Soul Deep in 1991.
