The story that’s being brought to life on the big-screen will now have a soundtrack to accompany its cinema release.

The award winning, ground breaking biography by Jimmy Barnes, Working Class Boy tells of the upbringing of the rock singer and to coincide with its cinema release, the film soundtrack is due out 17 August 2018 through Bloodlines.

Talking to Barnes about the film he said; 

"We did a series of shows and we filmed some of the shows - and I was getting hounded by TV networks all wanting to do the miniseries... And I decided that I didn't want someone acting as me - if they looked stupid, I knock them out, you know? If there was going to be story about this book, I want it to be real because obviously the subject matter in the book is very intense."

The trailer alone is worth the price of admission:
