Legend of Australian music Jimmy Barnes is set to embark on a national 30^th anniversary tour celebrating one of his highest-selling albums.

Released in 1991, Soul Deep was a collection of covers of soul music standards and featured duets with John Farnham and Diesel.

The album spawned the hits When Something Is Wrong With My Baby and Ain't No Mountain High Enough. The album has gone on to sell more than 700,000 copies and is Mushroom Records' highest-selling album of all time.

"I remember we presented the songs to [Mushroom founder] Michael Gudinski and Michael was worried: ‘Do you really want to put out a soul record? Everyone knows you as a rock singer,’” Barnes tells the Herald Sun.

"But like he always was, he said he’d back me."
