About this album
Hold On To Me is the album that took The Black Sorrows into the Australian mainstream, pairing rootsy folk-rock energy with sharp pop instincts. Released in 1988, it built on Joe Camilleri’s experience across rock, R&B and bar-band music to create a sound that felt both streetwise and radio-ready. The record’s best-known songs, including Chained To The Wheel and the title track, helped define the band’s reputation for tough, melodic songwriting with a distinctly Australian edge. Its enduring popularity made it one of the group’s most recognisable and influential releases.
