The Bee Gees (1973) Method to my Madness

The closing track to their country tinged 1973 album, Life in a Tin Can, famously a commercial failure that forced the brothers to reinvigorate their careers with a switch from melodramatic piano ballads, to guitar driven funk. But before they reignited with a new RnB identity they were trying out a country and western feel complete with acoustic guitars and harmonicas. The album has its moments on songs such as Living in Chicago and While I Play, though neither were the single release; the most complete composition was the closing track  Method to my Madness. Starting of with maudlin electric piano and occasionally triple tracked vocals, it is dominated by superb delivery from Robin Gibb though Barry Gibb also comes in at the bridge. Song that displays the brother's tremendously powerful execution that could also be chamelionic from country to disco there weren't many genres they couldn't do convincingly. This song does justice to the dramatic ballads they could excel at later on such songs as I Can't Let you Go.
