'To Love Somebody' - Bee Gees Fest

[Greeny (No longer active)]

I'm guessing there's going to be a few versions of this. And rightly so. It will be interesting to see / hear how it gets interpreted.

If it was just one Bee Gees song that I was allowed to cover, it would be this one. Sublime, timeless songwriting. Damn those boys were good.

Luckily I'm allowed to do others too 

This version comes more from the Gram Parsons / Flying Burrito Brothers take on it. I can't do proper country, but that's where I was leaning. And I had to tune the guitar down half a step to be able to sing it.

Tanglewood acoustic, Telecaster (with some slide), Jazz bass and GB drums all recorded and mixed on the MBR.

awesome job Tim....you caught the emotion and deep feeling ....great singing..I like the countrified feel of this....the great Canadian band Blue Rodeo did up a contrified version of this song some years age which is very good....

fabulous brother, a great version of a truly great song.

Great cover could not even come close to pulling this song off  but your add as a country style really worked well
Well done

Great version. I was thinking of doing this song as well. Love the country twang you added to it, me being more originally accustomed to the Blue Rodeo version, a slight country styling of this song really feels right to me. Awesome vocals as well

What a start to the Bee Gees Fest ! I'm convinced you can take any song and make it your own.  Great vocals and some nice guitar going on.

Astounding cover, Tim - I can definitely hear the Burritos influence in there, but it's all you. Love those tremoloed guitars and the direct vocal style.

The bar has been set high... very high.
