Barry Gibb - Greenfields

Greenfields is the third solo studio album by British singer songwriter Barry Gibb, released in January 2021 via Capitol Records.

Greenfields: The Gibb Brothers Songbook Vol. 1 includes new renditions of some of Bee Gees’ biggest hits, that Barry Gibb has re-recorded with some of the world’s biggest country artists; including Dolly Parton, Keith Urban, Olivia Newton-John, Alison Krauss, Sheryl Crow and Gillian Welch & Dave Rawlings.

Barry Gibb selected Dave Cobb as the album's producer after his son Stephen played him a Chris Stapleton song, with Gibb recalling that "I freaked out and I said, “Wow, there are people making records like this now? There are still bands making records and not programming and that it's real?” I said, “Who is this?” And he said, [Chris Stapleton], and then he said, “Dave Cobb is the producer.” I said, “I want to work with that guy. If I make any more records, it's with him.” and he flew to Nashville to record.

Gibb stated that “from the first day we stepped into RCA Studios in Nashville (the very place where Elvis, Willie, Waylon, Roy, the Everly Brothers and so many other legends made their magic) the album took on a life of its own. I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to work with Dave and all the artists who stopped by. They were all incredibly generous with their time and talent. They inspired me more than words can express. I feel deep down that Maurice and Robin would have loved this album for different reasons. I wish we could have all been together to do it but I think we were”.

This double album 2LP record set is on black vinyl with laser etching on Side D housed in a gatefold sleeve, pressed in Europe via Capitol Records.
