Freight Train Heart is Jimmy Barnes' finest album, imo. It includes songwriting help from Jonathan Cain, Neal Schon, and even Desmond Child. All of these guys also appear on the album in a guest capacity. The record itself is chock full of catchy rockers and beautiful ballads. Jimmy is sort of like Bruce Springsteen or Bob Segar vocally, but his music/writing is far better.
I'm sure you can dig up soundbytes somewhere online. Try to check out Driving Wheels, I Wanna Get Started With You, and Walk On. That should give you a good idea of what Freight Train Heart is all about. Definitely a steal at $5!
