Tracklisting & More Information
A lifelong bluegrass and country music fan, legendary singer, songwriter and producer Barry Gibb has long dreamed of a project that would bring him together with some of the artists he admires the most. With the help of Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb, that dream has become a reality with GREENFIELDS: The Gibb Brothers Songbook, Vol. 1—out January 8 on EMI Records.
Across twelve of the Gibb Brothers beloved songs reborn, the album features collaborations with Alison Krauss, Brandi Carlile, David Rawlings, Dolly Parton, Gillian Welch, Jason Isbell, Jay Buchanan, Keith Urban, Little Big Town, Miranda Lambert, Olivia Newton-John, Sheryl Crow and Tommy Emmanuel
Review - Neil McCormick, The Telegraph:
As custodian of the Gibb Brothers songbook, Barry has collaborated with Nashville producer Dave Cobb on what is billed as a country spin on the Bee Gees. It is a set packed with outstanding voices, including Alison Krauss (spine-tingling on Too Much Heaven), Brandi Carlile, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban and Olivia Newton John offering a touch of gentle grit on Rest Your Love on Me. Jason Isbell duets on a new song, Words of a Fool, a melodramatic soul belter that earns its place in the canon of classics. Anyone expecting a stroboscopic hoedown may be disappointed, but if it’s great performances of great songs you’re after, then fill your boots.
