| book description |

THE SEQUEL TO THE NUMBER 1 BESTSELLER WORKING CLASS BOY. INCLUDES A NEW AFTERWORD. From Glaswegian migrant kid to iconic front man, from solo superstar to proud father of his own musical clan, Jimmy Barnes has lived many lives. A decade ago, Jimmy set out to chronicle his legendary rock'n'roll life, writing two bestselling, award-winning and critically acclaimed autobiographies that would lay bare the man behind the legend. Working Class Boy and Working Class Man together established Jimmy as the highest selling Australian memoirist since records began and inspired two live productions and two major documentaries. In this sequel to Working Class Boy, Jimmy picks up the story of his life in 1974 as he leaves Adelaide in the back of an old truck with a then unknown band called Cold Chisel. A spellbinding and searingly honest reflection on success, fame and addiction, this self-penned memoir reveals how Jimmy used the fuel of childhood trauma to ignite and propel Australia's greatest rock'n'roll story. But beyond the combustible merry-go-round of fame, drugs and rehab, and across the Cold Chisel, solo and soul years, this is also a story about how it's never too late to try and put things right. '[A] compelling, must-read account' - Peter Garrett 'Brutal honesty and sparkling wit' - Neil Finn 'Sets a new bar for rock'n'roll survival stories' - Jennifer Byrne 'What a brave writer' - Lindy Morrison 'Riveting storytelling' - Sydney Morning Herald
