Barry reinvented 11 Bee Gees songs and an unprecedented track of his own on the country album alongside singers like Dolly Parton, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, Olivia Newton-John and Little Big Town.

“It was a project – a little bit like making a movie,” the singer told NPR last week. ‘You become a character and try to fit the soundtrack. … But reinventing is, for me, the greatest fun of all ‘, he added.
