For the Working Class Man was Jimmy Barnes's second solo album, the former Cold Chisel frontman's follow-up to his 1984 debut Bodyswerve, released on Mushroom Records. It's an odd hybrid: 5 new songs sitting alongside 7 tracks from Bodyswerve, remixed and dusted off for a second run. The glue is Barnes's voice, a gravel-and-gasoline howl that turns hard rock into something closer to a street fight.
"Working Class Man" is the anthem at its heart, and the phrase stuck to him: years later he gave the same title to the second volume of his memoirs.
