Rage and Ruin is the fourteenth solo studio album by Jimmy Barnes, released through Liberation Music on 27 August 2010. It would be his last album of original material until 2019's My Criminal Record .
Jon O'Brien from AllMusic said: "After tackling old-school R&B, country-roots, and Memphis soul on his previous three releases, Australian rock veteran Jimmy Barnes returns to more familiar territory on his 14th studio release, Rage and Ruin. Produced by longtime collaborator Don Gehman, the back-to-basics affair sees the gravelly-voiced rocker battle his demons on 12 tracks inspired by a book of notes he wrote while struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. It isn't exactly pretty, but for fans of vintage Australian pub rock, Rage and Ruin ticks all the boxes." [1]
