This was a song that you instantly liked, it was a hit right out of the box. Still sounds very awesome many years later. Ian Moss was Chisels secret weapon, amazing voice, amazing guitarist.

I vividly recall the first time I heard this song. Driving from Warragul to Nhill to see my parents, this song came on local radio and was touted as Ian Moss's latest song. This was 1988. It started exactly as I was going driving past the Sisters Rocks just east of Stawell. Blew me away. And now, at 64, 33 years later, it still does it for me. And - on every trip back home to Nhill, ( and my Mum is now 91 ) - I hear the song every time - every time I pass those graffiti covered rocks. But only on the way west ....

Living here in the US of A, Ian Moss is not really known. I think there was one or two Cold Chisel LPs released here, but went nowhere. Very sad, actually. That being said, I first heard him on a cassette tape that an Australian pen-pal of mine sent to me in the early 90's. We'd send tapes back and forth sharing our favorite artists. From the first time I heard the songs from "Matchbox", I loved this music and had my friend send me his albums when released down there. Funny how Aussies didn't even know who Tommy James & The Shondells were. I got her into them and she got me into Ian Moss and Cold Chisel. Hey, Ian at least has one fan here in America!

Probably the most under rated,under appreciated singer/guitarist on the planet.

Mossy is easily one of Australia's greatest guitarists of all time!!!

I’m an American that has just discovered Cold Chisel and am going down the rabbit hole of them and Jimmy Barnes/Ian Moss’s solo careers. I might be late to the party but I’m glad I’m here. Definitely deserved more worldwide recognition.

Old school Australia right here!! Loved hearing this when I was 11 and I still like this now....This kind of Aussie lingo is fading away fast and it's only a memory now but a great one though...

Still a great song after all these years, a true Aussie classic.

Still a banger even after all these years

This song is timeless in 2022. I still hear this song everywhere I go and it never gets old

33 years ago, as a newly graduated university student, I backpacked around Australia for 2 months. I remember this song being a huge hit on the radio at the time. Still such a great song! 🇦🇺🇨🇦❤️

Definitely one of the catchiest and grooviest choruses ever written. Can listen to it over and over and over and never eat bored of it. Very cool song.

2023 and this song still sounds fresh and ROCKS!!!!!

My mother played this a lot when I was a kid in the 80s. She was a crap mother but man she had brilliant taste in music. Thanks for the tunes Ian, absolute banger.

Soon as I woke up on a Saturday morning back in '89, '90. Channel 10, Video Hits, Coffee, Vegemite toast, OH YEAH!!!!!!!

Ian Moss. Probably the best guitar player, Australia ever produced.

Ian Moss is so underrated! I'd prefer to see him perform any day over Jimmy Barnes 💯

Ian Moss has a sound , whether he is playing with Barnsey , Richard Clapton or Joe Camilleri , you know it's Mossy . He is a great singer as well .

Saw him live on stage in Broken Hill 2021, absolutely incredible!!!

The (80s) greatest generation for music, it had meaning and still does. You can love, have your heart broken but still be able to pick yourself up when you had music with meaning in your lives!!!

I am just about to turn 49, and last night I had to lyrics pop into my head, typed what I could remember into KZfaq, thank You Thank You, Thank You.

He performed for us when we were in Timor with the army in 2009. Great night.

Classic, dynamic and still utter magic in 2022..❤️

My childhood. Pure classic. No autotune, just pure talent. Plenty of dynamic, timbre, not over-compressed.

Mossy is a hidden talent that need to get his name around there

Mossy is very talented a true musicia8an

Ian Moss, what a great guitarist, a brilliant song from 1989. Mossy is very talented a true musicia8an

Awesome Aussie Classic

Tucker's Daughter is my favourite Ian Moss song of All-time. AllanBlack.

So much admiration & respect for Aussie artist more than ever! ❤️

Ian Moss will always be a favourite and revered guitarist, singer, and songwriter of mine. Has a great guitar and voice tone all of the time.👍

I was in Aus in 89 and this was played a lot on the radio, I loved all the Aussie bands on the radio that year and so I took them all back with me and they mark one of the best times of my life, I was young free and single and met so many great people and never laughed so much in all my life!

What a sexy, soulful voice. You got it Ian!

Good song from a fantastic CD that I got for my 16th birthday in August 1989. However, Telephone Booth is even better!

I just remembered this song from my pre-high school years. It is still such a great song today!!

Never gets old this song. I remember seeing him at I think Parra leagues back in 89. Man, I’m now 51 and it still feels like yesterday when I hear this song.

I love those backup boys.

Tucker's daughter made me sit up and take notice of mossy. Was an apprentice mechanic at the time

Had the pleasure of seeing Ian Moss, John Stevens, Jack Jones and Tania Doko live during an acoustic in Townsville in 2008. Great gig.

This song makes me feel happy, makes me wanna get up and dance I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂

I am listening you betcha. Best music ever.❤❤❤

Ah the "Build me up, Tear me down" song" .. memories.

Great song one of my fave ...this song grabbed me at first listen with it's addictive hook and melody and brilliant lyrics and also have to add the magical backing vocals

My mum worked with the mum of the woman in this video at Classic Hits radio station in New Plymouth, New Zealand. Her mum and dad were really cool 😎

My dad’s first boss was a Mr Tucker and his first girlfriend was his daughter. He had to move from Rocky back to Dubbo and drove 14 hours to go surprise her one day only to find out she was seeing someone else... This song came out shortly after

Love this song !! ❤️❤️

Your a legend ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tucker's Daughter is my favourite Ian Moss song of All-time. AllanBlack1977. Allan Black.

Mossey, I nearly saw in Jindabye snow season...in 1989 And he was so wasted that they had to canelled it...Was so disappointed, Hey you owe me $35 lol🤨.Still a huge fan.

Great voice...like to see him live again.

My favourite singer

Mossy's a phenomenal guitarist for sure, but how good is his voice?! Amazing song.

Catchy for an oldie but a goodie

!LYRICS! Hang me for a sucker On the plains out of Narrabri Swingin' a hoe in a CAL-cotton row Sweatin' on the dangers to me Bossman's Mr. Tucker He's a man I don't care to defy And his only child wicked and wild is seeking my company She want to build me up tear me down Slap my knee bones to the ground Me and mine are gonna be around When Tuckers' daughter's a memory Hot sun is a killer She'll be waitin' at the end of my line Taking the shade with a cool lemonade sayin' Boy I want to talka to you Bossmans' only daughter She ain't his and she'll never be mine Never be down on a dollar or two Or told what she's gonna do She want to build me up tear me down Slap my knee bones to the ground Me and mine are gonna be around When Tuckers' daughters a memory Build me up tear me down I won't kneel 'til the trumpet sounds And Tuckers' daughter's a memory People born with all they need They don't understand Everything you want don't come from holding out your hand Tuckers' daughter thinks she sees A slave at her command I know you need some time yet baby But when the time is right Babe I just ain't your man [INSTRUMENTAL] She's gonna build me up tear me down Slap my knee bones to the ground Me and mine are gonna be around When Tuckers' daughters a memory Build me up tear me down I won't kneel 'til the trumpet sounds And Tuckers' daughter's a memory

Aussie legend, under rated, he's so great

Ian Moss, what a great guitarist, a brilliant song from 1989.

I went to high school with the model in this vid. Seemed like such a nice person. Glad she did something like this video. I never had a chance.

1989 great year for Australian & international music. Great song Mossy one of the great Aussie songs of all time.

Totally underrated artist

Love love love this song!!! He played with barnsey

Great singer and guitarist. And one of the nicest musos I have ever met. 😊

with age comes understanding and wisdom, listening to this awesome song after so many years, I finally get it, ...life and love in general, and i'm cool with that..

Love those boys singing backup.

This song makes me feel happy, makes me wanna get up and dance

Reminds me of my childhood. In the 6th grade I had a major crush on one of my teachers. Her name was Mrs Tucker. She had dark brown hair with blue eyes, sharp facial features and a heaven-sent body. I always think of her when I hear this.

My step dad played this all the time to me as I was growing up

I havn't heard this In decades but still remembered the chorus. Just listened to it now. Whoa. it was 1989?! I Have a lot say but I've gotta go.

Ian Moss is fantastc singer. when i am down i put his songs on. just can't get enough of Ian Moss. love to meet him one day and have a beer with him

I remember this song when I was young 30 years ago. It takes on more relevance today now that Darcy Tucker has left Fremantle to go to North Melbourne. Perhaps to be closer to his daughrer.

At one stage in time Ian moss was rated as the best Rock and roll guitarist in Australia, Jimmy Barnes and various other musicians have said his tone and his touch on the strings is bar none, his lead tones are just heavenly 🎸😊👍

Matchbook. Killer Album. Nuff said.

Great song, always loved it!

Shows off Ian Moss’s blues guitar chops

Mossy always had the better voice in Chisel Absolutely purity

I have "Matchbook " in the old stack of vinyls. I totally forgot how really great this album is.The sound feels fresh till this day. Thanks for all hours of joy listen to it, Ian!

Just heard this song play on triple m I had no idea who sang it waa looking up the lyrics on youtube finally found it .Then I downloaded it on Spotify now I can't stop listening to it such a catchy song 🤗

Legend this bloke

Heard this from an Aussie friend played in his car dang I told him right away that's my favorite and played it over and over haha. It's a make feel good music. ❤

such a great song! great, timeless riff, Ian Moss all over it.

I love those backup boys. Some of the chords he plays are so hard Some of the chords he plays are so hard I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂 Ian Moss the real talent of Cold Chisel

I Love everything about this song and vid.

i'm one of the few yanks about here-commenting of this guy's work from cold chisel, and of him solo. (cold chisel should have been way bigger than what they spot of across the music space per america back then-i get why though ultimately they weren't:(the barne's voice per all of his works too-breath-taking!! 'love x 10)

Fantastic track charted well in early 1989.

Love it!!!!

I love this...i was in primary school grade 6 ...

I was 12 years old when this classic came out. I had a crush on a girl...she was Tuckers daughter to me!

Not only is Mossy a great guitarist and vocalist, but he also co-wrote this song with (former Cold Chisel bandmate) Don Walker. It also reached #1 on the Aussie charts in March 1989 and was there for one week. Triple M plays this occasionally as part of their classic rock format. Pretty good for a debut single by a solo artist. 🎸

Love your work Ian, a belter of a track 🎵✌️

Ian Moss the real talent of Cold Chisel Some of the chords he plays are so hard I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂 I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂

Awesome Definitely remember this song. Nice to hear it again.

Geeez and how the memories come flooding back.....................1988 and, life was so much simpler................. A time when there was no internet, no global warming and no PC bullshit. We lived week to week and all we cared about was............where was our favorite song on Casey Kasem's weekly countdown...........shit that's all that mattered. I had just split up with the Mr's, felt like crap and so, one day just decided to get up early one Saturday morning..............jumped in the Holden and just cruised...........destination? unknown. Played my cold chisel and Ian Moss tapes and, suddenly, life just got a whole lot easier................ Even today, .......................If i have any worries/issues, it's back to the Holden, destination unknown and Jimmy and the boy's .....just make the blue's fade away!!!!!! Geez i miss those days!!!!!!!!!!!! Big Jim.

damn that's a ripper - Ian Moss certainly got the soul out of his strat there 😎

swietny videoclip oraz super piosenka oraz wspanialy ian moss

When I studied in Sydney in 1990/91, I cycled from Kensington to Cronulla to buy a ticket to his concert. Worthwhile!
