.GibbBarry talks reuniting with Dolly Parton and who he 'freaked out' over while recording new country duets album

-- his songwriting, his insight and how he built those records. To start a song like “Running Scared” or “Crying," to start very small and build and build and build to a climax -- that’s not an easy task, you know? That inspired me to write songs.

No. Dave Cobb showed me around Studio B and, and it was just exhilarating because those were the artists that I love. When thecame into our lives, probably about ’57, ’58, my sister started bringing those records home, and I just freaked out. When you think about the Everly Brothers, the Everly Family were a bluegrass group. So when suddenly they turned into rock & roll mainstream performers, it blew my mind. What wonderful songs and what amazing harmonies.

There were so many songs that were really written in the spirit of country music. “Islands in the Stream,” for instance, was written for Diana Ross, but when I agreed to work with Kenny [Rogers], he wanted to do a duet with Dolly. And so we suggested that one -- we knew it was good, we knew it was potentially very strong, but we didn't know it was a duet. So we just went to work on that, and the R&B song became a country song.

My oldest son, Stephen, played me a Chris Stapleton song on his iPhone. I freaked out and I said, “Wow, there are people making records like this now? There are still bands making records and not programming and that it's real?” I said, “Who is this?” And he said, [Chris Stapleton], and then he said, “Dave Cobb is the producer.” I said, “I want to work with that guy. If I make any more records, it’s with him.
