Dolly Parton has partnered with Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees.
The 74-year-old country music legend and Gibb, who is also 74, collaborate on a new duet version of the disco band’s 1968 classic song “Words.”
The CD “Greenfields: The Gibb Brothers’ Songbook, Vol. 1,” which is scheduled for release on January 8, will include the song.
To go along with the music, Gibb released a “visualizer” last week that includes multiple images of trains and train lines.
The musician also shared a video of himself recording the song with Parton on Twitter on Friday and they clearly enjoyed their time together.
“Happy New Year everyone! So excited to share #words with you all,” he wrote. “@DollyParton and I had so much fun singing this song together from my new album #greenfields. The album is available everywhere January 8th. I hope you enjoy it as well.”
Parton said on Twitter that she was “honored” to have worked with Gibb on the song.
“Words” was originally released in 1968 and in March peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. It spent 11 weeks on the chart.
“Greenfields: The Gibb Brothers’ Songbook, Vol. 1” will feature some of the Bee Gees’ biggest hits reimagined as duets with some of country music’s biggest names.
Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town and more will appear on the record, which will feature songs like “How Deep Is Your Love,” “Jive Talkin,’” “To Love Somebody,” “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,” according to Apple Music.
“I’m bitten by Nashville, you know?” Gibb told CBS. “Because Nashville is about music, it’s about real songs.”
