#IanMoss always struggled with songwriting, though it must be said he was and still is one of Australia's best rock vocalists and guitarist.
As a member of #ColdChisel, he didn't ever write many of the band's songs, but he wrote this moody, spacey, "reggaey" tune.
Underated!

Recorded in 2024, this live performance of CRY ME A RIVER by #ColdChisel guitarist & "occasional" lead singer #IanMoss proves that at around 71 years of age (69 years then) he can still pick a guitar damn good & hit the high notes too. Soul & blues always influenced him a lot.

#IanMoss undoubtedly is one of Australia's best ever rock guitarists. But he is also a great singer who sang lead vocals for some of #ColdChisel' s most iconic songs, like MY BABY.
After Chisel's demise, he reemerged with a solo album MATCHBOX in 1989.
This is a great song.

This has to be one of the most underrated #ColdChisel songs going. Definitely has never been played on the radio.
Like most Chisel songs, it was written by #DonWalker, but the member of the band who makes it "special" is #IanMoss with one of his very best guitar performances.

For Aussie pub rock, this is such a classic chunk of it.
The final song on #ColdChisel 's definitive 1980 album EAST.
MY TURN TO CRY is one of only a few Chisel songs written solely by #JimmyBarnes
Rip roaring vocals by Barnes with #IanMoss in full flight on backing vocals.

@jimmybarnes.com, quite rightfully, because he's one of Australia's greatest ever rock singers, got the lion's share of the limelight in #ColdChisel, but #IanMoss wasn't that far behind.
"Mossy" was a great guitarist. This live performance of ONE LONG DAY proves that. Wow! 🔥

#IanMoss definitely always was one of the most underrated singers and guitarists in any Australian band.
His 1989 solo album MATCHBOOK showcased his blues guitar prowess with good storytelling lyrics, much of them written by #ColdChisel bandmate #DonWalker, without Barnsey drowning everything out.
Today in music: Choirgirl by Cold Chisel from the 1980 album East. Released 45 years ago this week, it was the band’s third studio album. #Music #Choirgirl #ColdChisel #East #rock #rocknroll #pubrock #JimmyBarnes #IanMoss #1980s #80s #1980smusic #80smusic #BreakfastatSweethearts
About time that I post a song from one of Australia's most iconic bands - #ColdChisel
Most classic Chisel songs were written by #DonWalker, with guitarist and occasional lead singer #IanMoss being the other most prolific writer.
But vodka slugging 😄😄 #JimmyBarnes wrote this.

Still blown away by the Cold Chisel concert in Adelaide on Sunday #ColdChisel #IanMoss #JimmyBarnes #BowRiver
Following the break up of #ColdChisel #JimmyBarnes, without his former bandmate #IanMoss to temper his aggression 😄, reached heavy metal intensity on some of the tracks for THE WORKING CLASS MAN album.
DAYLIGHT being one of them.
The late #ReneeGeyer is on backing vocals.
