Freight Train Heart, Jimmy Barnes' third studio album, came out on Mushroom in Australia in November 1987 and on Geffen in the US in early 1988. The former Cold Chisel roarer handed the controls to Desmond Child, and the result is hard rock with the chrome polished to a blinding shine: big drums, bigger choruses and Barnes' gravel-and-whiskey voice tearing through the middle of it all like the train in the title.
"Driving Wheels" rides that same heavy momentum. Back home it was a monster, sitting at the top of the Australian album chart for five weeks across December 1987 and January 1988.
