"Evening Star" is a song written by Barry and Maurice Gibb, and recorded by American country music artist Kenny Rogers.
[1] This track, along with "Buried Treasure" have backing vocals by the Gatlin Brothers.
[2] Barry Gibb's original version of "Evening Star" was released on The Eyes That See in the Dark Demos in 2006.
This song is a country singalong, with harmony vocals and Maurice Gibb contributing both a slap bass and a snappy lead guitar break.
But on Kenny Rogers' version, the vocals would again be done by the Gatlin Brothers for release, and the break was eliminated.
