We all have tracks like that. But we also have tracks we just listen to over and over. The Way It Was, Baby as You Turn Away, King and Country -- I spent $50 on the Tales box set just to hear that one song that I hadn't known existed. It was worth it. You may not agree with my choices. But on the In The Now album, Shadows let me feel that was again, maybe for the last time in my declining years. I'm fine, but Gibb songwriters are an endangered species. I can't picture myself buying a Samantha Gibb album with that same enthusiasm. I was listening to the vocals, the lyrics, the arrangement -- I'm so glad Shadows had that superfluous instrumental passage for a minute and a half or so. I found it mesmerizing. For me it was money well spent. But not everyone is going to feel that way. It is impossible to predict. . David Garcia, who finally has a favorite bossa nova song in NYC . P.S. Chris, you don't mind if my next song is a bossa nova, do you? I kind of want to try one. On Sun, May 13, 2018, 4:20 PM Driftin Cowpoke wrote: > I still haven't dared to buy In the Now.

Still can't stand Boogie Child, but I'm still crazy about Fallen Angel. There is no doubt that Barry was the leader of the Bee Gees and I do believe he was the most consistent commercial writer of the three.

When you say Barry covers all the bases, do you mean he does all kinds of different musical styles? Because that's what Barry did on This Is Where I Came In too. And to me, somehow, that meant musically the real inspiration was gone. As if he wanted to divert the attention from the actual song to the way it was arranged. But maybe I should just overcome my fear of cold water and buy the damn album! :) 2018-05-14 4:02 GMT+02:00 Martin Hogan : > “In The Now” is a perfectly satisfying middle of the road album.

After Home Truth Song I skip to End Of The Rainbow and then continue. I can forgive Barry the indulgence in retrospection as a release to his grieve though but not next time out. To express himself in this album he has bypassed melody on so many tracks. In my opinion only the title track has the Bee Gees album level of sophistication and was clearly worked on far more than the other tracks so as to provide the selling point. If Barry is motivated to create a critically-acclaimed and commercially successful album he must put himself in the hands of a renowned producer who can act as a ‘critical friend’ to ensure that he hits the mark. However maybe IT, NV and Hawks (MM) showed how much Barry needed his brothers input into his songs and his sons can’t do that.

To express himself in this album he has bypassed melody on so many tracks. In my opinion only the title track has the Bee Gees album level of sophistication and was clearly worked on far more than the other tracks so as to provide the selling point. If Barry is motivated to create a critically-acclaimed and commercially successful album he must put himself in the hands of a renowned producer who can act as a ‘critical friend’ to ensure that he hits the mark. However maybe IT, NV and Hawks (MM) showed how much Barry needed his brothers input into his songs and his sons can’t do that.
