5.0 out of 5 stars..a classic 80's album due for re-release !
By N. Page on May 23, 2003
Format: Audio CD
Something of an Australian folk hero, although originally from Glasgow, Jimmy Barnes is the original 'working class man', the title track and signature tune from his first US release. Having come to prominence with Australian band Cold Chisel, 1987's `Freight Train Heart' was Barnes' second album for Geffen. Mixed for an American audience and recorded with American musicians with some notoriously top flight song-writers-for -hire enlisted during the writing process, `Freight Train Heart' was, if we're being honest here, one of the albums of the eighties and should be in every discerning AOR-fan's Top 30. An Australian Number 1 album, several times platinum, FTH actually flopped in the US, despite being chock-full of absolute classic AOR-radio friendly rock songs.
Barnes' voice kinda resembles that of Sammy Hagar's and just oozes cool; it has been described as one part pure AC/DC rasp, one part eternal romantic, and one part master storyteller. The musical accompaniment is faultless; Journey-like in terms of sheer quality. Hardly surprising given that most of the songs were co-produced by ex-Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain in tandem with `Escape' producer Mike Stone. Some of Cain's usual cohorts (Neal Schon, Randy Jackson) provide backing here and have co-write credits with Barnes. With Desmond Child and Jim Vallance also contributing, of course the record sounds highly commercial, but Barnes' commanding voice keeps proceedings rooted in rock. The vocals have a huge emotional quality without ever being overwrought, even on "Waitin' For The Heartache", a balladic anthem co-written by Desmond Child. As usual Neal Schon provides a stunning array of biting solos throughout. Other highlights are the blues-ballad "Too Much Ain't Enough" and the epic "Last Frontier".Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat music for driving through Hell.
By A Customer on August 17, 1999
Format: Audio CD
If you can imagine a singer with a nastier voice than John Fogerty (which is pretty hard to do)then you have an idea what Jimmy Barnes sounds like. Having said that, you might think this guy must sound like a surface grinder, but you'd be wrong. Jimmy Barnes is one of the great Hard Rock singers of all time. After the first listen I figured, Too Much Ain't Enough(the CD's only hit) was the only high point, but, since CD's cost so damn much, I rarely pass judgment one until it does time in my car. First impressions sometime suck and this was one of them. The CD starts out with David Lindly playing what can only be discribed as slide guitar from hell then never lets up until the end. Listening to Freight Train Heart is like getting paid to wreck your Math teacher's house while he's on vacation. It's great traveling music. I pop it in everytime I cross the George Washington Bridge going into New York City just to get into that New York State of Mind Billy Joel sings about. You know, Music to Loot Pilage and Run People Over By. Freight Train Heart is a must have for every hard rock lovers car stereo. WARNING: Should be played only while steering wheel is in your hand and gas pedal is on the floor.

5.0 out of 5 starsTry Barnesy and Cold Chisel guys
By ... on November 28, 2015
Format: Vinyl Verified Purchase
I never really understood why Jimmy Barnes or Cold Chisel never got an ear in the U.S. Perhaps they got no radio airplay, perhaps the wrong songs got played, but it is bewildering to me.
Barnesy has a great rock voice and it is shown very well on this album. last frontier, driving wheels and do or die or all great belters. too much ain't enough love, waiting for the heartache and still on your side show the ballad side very well also. If you like classic rock this is a good album to have.
I highly recommend some Cold Chisel and suggest starting with East or Circus animals.

5.0 out of 5 stars5 STARS AIN'T ENOUGH FOR JIMMY BARNES
By Mike S on February 2, 2000
Format: Audio CD
Excellent CD. This is a fast and hard driving album with a great musicians backing Jimmy's powerful awesome singing voice. It kind of has a Journey-like sound because Jon Cain co-produced and plays keyboards along with Neal Schon on guitar. Tony Brock of The Babys and Rod Stewart fame lays down a solid drum beat. TOO MUCH AIN'T ENOUGH is a great ballad and the rest of the CD are hard rocking songs that are top notch such as WAITING FOR THE HEARTACHE, SEVEN MORE DAYS, and LAST FRONTIER. Every song is great and once you start listening you won't be able to stop. Jimmy's voice is one of best singing voices I've heard.

1.0 out of 5 starsBacking Vocals missing on CD
By bruce haynie on March 7, 2015
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
This great album has been edited for CD and some of the backing vocals have been taken out (Joe Lynn Turner on Waiting for the Heartache" so if you are looking for the original Freight Train Heart, this isn't it. Get the Vinyl instead if you can find it.

4.0 out of 5 starsThis is really rocking!
By L. B. Ivarsson on May 21, 2003
Format: Audio CD
Jimmy Barnes' "Freight train heart" from 1988 might not be that well known and that's a real shame because this album rocks! It is not heavy metal or hard rock, but more in the musical line of Tom Cochrane. Barnes is an energetic and enthusiastic singer and his rocking version of Bob Dylan's "Seven days" blow away any other attempts (like Joe Cocker's) as well as the original. Other standouts are the attractive pair "Driving wheels" and "Last frontier", together with the melodic and catchy "I'm still on your side".
"Freight train heart" is absolutely Jimmy Barnes' finest release and should be of interest to anyone who claims to be a rock fan. If you like the mentioned Tom Cochrane, the rockiest stuff from Tom Petty, John Cougar Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen, I would say that the chance of liking this album is very high.
