  • Heartbreaker
    Sep 1 2024

    In September 1982, Dionne Warwick released 'Heartbreaker', an album produced by the indomitable Gibb-Galuten-Richardson team. With the chart-topping title track, and success with follow-ups 'All The Love In The World' and 'Take The Short Way Home', Dionne Warwick had reasserted herself as a leading artist once again after a career that had already seen many heights since 1962. Stuart and Cristiano delve into this R&B and adult-contempo album, as well as the demos and some leftover songs.

  • Living Eyes - Part 1
    Jul 7 2024

    Stuart and Cristiano return for the fourth season with 1981's 'Living Eyes'. In the midst of legal affairs with RSO, a disco backlash, and a shake-up to the recording style and personnel which had accompanied the Gibbs over the previous five years, the resulting album, which also had a smash-hit predecessor in 'Spirits Having Flown' to live up to, was always going to suffer. And although the album struggled commercially and critically, and subsequently dismissed by the Brothers Gibb, it has gone on to become a fan favourite. A return to natural voices, orchestral bombast and the triumphant return of Robin and Maurice on lead vocals make this album a special one. In this first part, Stuart and Cristiano discuss the context of the album's recording, and the five songs that comprise side one.

Great Bee Gees podcast by father and son

I'm so glad Stuart and Cris decided to launch this podcast. I'm sure it's a lot of work to research, but you can tell it is a labor of love. The Bee Gees are criminally under-represented in the podcast space, but this father-son dynamic duo help fill the void, and they know their stuff well! I am a big fan of the Bee Gees, have every thing they ever released musically and just about every book ever published about them. I own the Andrew Sandoval Day by Day book, but it's more like a daily journal. I haven't gone through that one completely. Anyway I have learned a lot of interesting bits from listening to Stuart and Cris' podcast (episodes 1-7). The podcast is very well done. Not a bunch of loud opinionated hot air, but thoughtful objective reviews presented in a relaxed and easy to listen to manner. I am eagerly looking forward to the next one! Thank you for doing these!
