Flesh and Wood is the seventh album by Australian rock singer Jimmy Barnes. The album was recorded using only acoustic instruments and includes various duets with artists including Diesel, Archie Roach, Joe Cocker, Ross Wilson, Tommy Emmanuel, Don Walker, Deborah Conway and The Badloves.

Background

In 1993 Jimmy Barnes gathered a few close friends and performed a very special acoustic show in the studios of Channel 7 in Sydney to support the release of his "Flesh and Wood" album. The show featured a number of new songs along with a selection of Jimmy (and Cold Chisel) classics, all recorded acoustically. This was released on VHS in 1994 and on DVD in 2005.[1]

Reviews

Jonathan Lewis from AllMusic said: "Flesh and Wood" was Barnes' attempt at an unplugged album, and featured duets with other Australian rock luminaries While it contains some of Barnes' own material and some covers (including Cold Chisel's superb "Flame Trees"), few songs here manage to match the originals; fewer still eclipse them. A competent album that shows a more sophisticated side to Barnes that was hinted at with Soul Deep. [2]
