Barry Gibb - Greenfields The Gibb Brothers Songbook Vol. 1 UHD (2021 - Pop rock) [Flac 24-96]



Having grown up with the Bee Gees and recently watching a documentary on the brothers, I was excited to see this new release by Barry. Overall, what a treat! I’ll start with the last track, Butterfly.

I was unfamiliar with this song, but it’s beautifully arranged. Highlight tracks for this listener start with Word of a Fool, the duet with Jason Isbell, and a wonderful country flavored performance.

Next, my favorite track on the album, Too Much Heaven. Alison Krause truly is heaven with this wonderful Gibb song. Another treat was hearing one of the great pickers, Tommy Emmanuel, starting off and hearing his guitar up in the mix on, How Deep Is Your Love with Little Big Town. Fantastic!

Also of note was Cheryl Crow’s duet with Barry on this giant Gibb hit, How Can You Mend a Broken Heart.

For me the only disappointment in this beautifully collection is Jive Talkin’, which unfortunately was arranged down tempo, losing the lilt and joyfullness of the original.

All in all a very enjoyable listen, and I can’t wait for a Volume 2.
