Love Is Enough/Do Or Die (Live)/ Paradise (Live)
Jimmy Barnes launched his own career less than a month after Cold Chisel's Last Stand tour came to an end. He assembled a band that included Arnott, former Fraternity bass player Bruce Howe and guitarists Mal Eastick (ex-Stars) and Chris Stockley (ex-The Dingoes) and began touring and writing for a solo album. Signing to Mushroom Records, Barnes released his first solo album Bodyswerve. He was now billing himself as Jimmy Barnes, instead of merely 'Jim Barnes' as he had been credited during his Cold Chisel days. The album was immediately successful, entering the Australian charts at Number One on 8 October. This was the first of a remarkable run of top charting albums for Barnes, as each of his first six solo albums all debuted in the Number One position, a feat that no other Australian musical artist is likely to match. His list of Number One albums now totals eleven, including three Cold Chisel albums. His total of nine No. 1 albums as a solo performer is matched by no other Australian recording artist.
Jimmy released "Love Is Enough" in August 1991 not one of his better placed singles it peaked at #48 on the charts and dropped out after only 2 weeks. "Love Is Enough" was the 5th single released off the Two Fires album little wonder it did not do so well.
I think it didn't do so well because we all had the Two Fires album by the time it came out. I sure did.
