The title track from ‘A world Worth Fighting For ‘is a call to arms for us to do much more to head off the worst scenarios of unabated climate change. Lachy comments: “With the effects of climate change becoming more real than ever, it’s hard to remain optimistic about what sort of world we are leaving for our kids.”
Lachy is renowned for his keyboard mastery and the track features a collection of classic keyboards along with a horn section and soulful backing singers.
Jimmy’s son Jackie Barnes (drums) and daughter Mahalia Barnes (backing vocals) are joined by Joel Burton on bass, Ray Cassar on trumpet, Anthony Kable on trombone, Matt Kegan (tenor and baritone saxophone) and Jade Macrae, Bec Jensen, and Karen Lee Andrews all joining Mahalia on backing vocals.
Lachy is highly respected in the industry and he’s regularly referred to as the Jimi Hendrix of the Hammond organ. Artists want to work with him so it’s no surprise that he’s assembled an impressive line-up for this recording.
A World Worth Fighting For has Lachy’s trademark underlying blues and soul influences but it also contains elements of funk .
