Bee Gees-Odessa
Monday, January 24th, 2011
Probably the most listened-to album I own… actually had it on 8-Track, which meant that I didn’t have any tiny little red fibers sticking to my fingers and getting in my lungs whenever I played it. That would be part of the experience a couple of years later when I bought a copy of the lp out of the cut-out bin.
One of the greatest albums ever, and one that would define the Bee Gees sound until “Mr. Natural”.

“Head” marks the end of a string of 6 really great albums – after this they Peter-ed out and drifted into OK-ness – but it was a hell of a run while it lasted.

This doesn’t bear much resemblance to the (amazing) String Driven Thing that would re-emerge a few years later with Shel Talmy at the knobs, but it’s not bad and the bonus tracks give us a glimpse of what was to come.
