Barry Gibb turns country

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - If former Bee Gee Barry Gibb was looking for some inspiration for the country album he plans to record here, he couldn’t have picked a more hallowed piece of ground to put down stakes.

Gibb bought and is restoring the lakefront house belonging to the late Johnny and June Carter Cash.

“It’s going to be nice,” Gibb said Wednesday during a reception in his honor by the performance rights organization BMI. “We’d like to use it as our second home. I would like to come here and write songs. I am planning on making a country album. That is really who I am.”
