Some of her best work is the song Trust is Rust, from her second solo studio album All Day Venus released in 2013.

"Trust is Rust is the benchmark for me. So the thing I take away from that is 'Can I write a better song than that?' That's that's where I'm at. And I don't know if I can."

Some Of My Best Work

"The arrangement's great, it's so hookie, the lyrics, everything, it just just works beautifully" - Adalita Srsen

Adalita - Trust is Rust

During a 1990 Christmas tour break, in a New South Wales home studio with his band, and a phone number from Michael Gudinski, Jimmy Barnes created some of his best work. 

Rock singers have long been inspired by soul singers.

In this case, the rock singer became the soul singer.

The song, released over 30 years ago, is a personal high for Jimmy Barnes.

There’s a re-release of the album celebrating 30 years, out now.

Soul Deep 30 - www.jimmybarnes.com

And the Soul Deep 30 tour mid 2022.

Go to JimmyBarnes.com for more information.

Jimmy Barnes - When Something Is Wrong With My Baby

Hannah Crofts has already had an extensive music career, notably with the four piece band All Our Exes Live In Texas.

But it’s a song off her debut album under the name Baby Velvet that’s been chosen as some of her best.

The song’s not new. It’s been on the Exes set list for years, starting with a gig at South By South West, pre-pandemic.

Hannah Crofts of Baby Velvet and the story of her song “Best In Show.”

Baby Velvet’s album is called “Please Don’t Be In Love With Someone Else”, and it’s out now wherever you get your music.

Hannah Crofts - Best In Show (Baby Velvet)

Glenn Wheatley was a legendary Australian talent manager, promoter and musician himself in The Masters Apprentices.

Known for his reach across both music and media, he steered both John Farnham and Delta Goodrem to the top of Australian music.

In February 2022 he died from health complications caused by Covid.

Now his son, Tim Wheatley, has released a version of The Masters Apprentice’s hit, Because I Love You.

The cover has also been included with the new audio book of Glenn’s autobiography, Paper Paradise, read by Glenn himself.

Like Glenn, Tim has moved between Melbourne, London and Los Angeles, focused on music all the way.

As you’ll hear, the song has become more than a hit to the Wheatley’s, it’s very much in and of the family now.

Get the audio book here.
