Saw this this morning: https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2021/01/sunday-morning-coming-down-111.php

The videos of the songs are in the link above:

Via the No Depression email newsletter, I learned last week that Barry Gibb’s Greenfields: The Gibb Brothers Songbook Vol. 1 was released on Friday. Harry Carrigan’s No Depression story is “Barry Gibb Reimagines Classics and Deep Cuts through Collaboration on ‘The Gibb Brothers Songbook.” The news is that Barry went to Memphis to record selected Bee Gees’ numbers with some of his favorite country and Americana artists.

Hillary Hughes has Barry’s comments on a few tracks in the Entertainment Weekly story “Barry Gibb’s country moment: ‘It’s time to do what I love and not what everyone asks me to do.'” Stephanie Nolasco has a little more in the Fox News story “Bee Gees’ Barry Gibb talks going country with ‘Greenfields’: ‘You have to work pretty hard to be accepted.’”

My theory this morning is this. Even if you were never a Bee Gees fan, I’m guessing you may have had a favorite Bee Gees song without much thinking about it. Mine is “How Deep Is Your Love.” What a beautiful melody. Where the song asks “How deep is your love,” the answer is not “I really need to know,” it’s “I really mean to learn” — so much better. And “‘Cause we’re living in a world of fools” states a permanent truth.

Among the artists who join Barry Gibb on the disc are Keith Urban, Jason Isbell, Brandi Carlile, Sheryl Crow, Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton, Miranda Lambert, and the Americana duo David Rawlings and Gillian Welch. I was unfamiliar with Little Big Town and Jay Buchanan, but I enjoyed both of them. If you’re a fan of any of the artists, you may want to check out the recording for that reason as well.
