Respected as one of Australia’s iconic musicians, Ian Moss delivers an unforgettable sound - not only as a telling soloist on guitar but especially with his silken voice, ringing with clarity and resonating with pure soul. While primarily recognised as an axeman of unusual tenacity and sweet melodic sensibility, Ian’s distinctive vocal is the essential signature of his soulful, bluesy muse - as it has been since his first tentative foray into music during the early 1970s.
I honestly believe Chisel would have be better without Barnes. Barnes is too much of an acquired taste. He can sing but he's too screamy for my liking.
Anthony looks so hot in this clip. Paul too. They got better with age. They were so clean cut in the early days. Typical Northern beaches boys in white or cream jeans and short sleeved button shirts like Aussie Crawl boys too.
Just listened to this song for the first time since the early '90s. Ian Moss was a guy who completely packaged the sound of great Australian music. This is some solid, honest rock from a fabulous time. He was underrated indeed.
Saw him at the Kings Arms Tavern in Auckland in 2001 where it felt like he played to about 20 people! I'm sure he had Phil Small on bass & David the harmonica player with him. After gig we went "backstage" where, seated on a beer crate (might've been a really old office chair), Mossy signed my newly purchased CD (Petrolhead? Purchased at the gig)! How privileged was I? The king of Australasian guitar & melody right there in a tiny room at the back of an Auckland bar!
I bought this cd yes I'm old!! Love Mossy's vocals and this is the music I want playing when I go out feet first. Not the shit on the radio by the new wave of pounces!! Please keep going Ian
There should be a new word invented for you, Mr. Moss. Your elusive playing style is " imossible " 😆 Have a lovely day sir. Rick and family, from Orange nsw 🎶 🎵
