Once dismissed as maudlin hitmakers and later scapegoated for the death of disco, the Bee Gees were always far more musically inventive. In this episode, we talk to pop oracle Bob Stanley about Main Course, the 1975 album that didn’t just save their career, it rewired it. With Arif Mardin behind the desk and Miami heat in their lungs, the Brothers Gibb found falsetto, R&B, and a future they hadn’t dared imagine. But this is also the story of perennial outsiders who outwrote, out-sang, and outlasted their critics.

Recorded in June 2023 at The CAT Club
