Cold Chisel Wild Colonial Boys/Wikipedia:
Freight Train Heart was Jimmy Barnes’ third studio album. Apparently Ian Moss was booked to play on it, but pulled out. In the book Cold Chisel Wild Colonial Boys Barnes said, “He was supposed to but he chickened out. He is so worried about living up to this legendary status of Cold Chisel. He thought people might compare it and he might come out looking worse.”
