Flowing Rivers

Flowing Rivers is the debut studio album by English singer-songwriter Andy Gibb, released on September 1977, by RSO Records.

Two singles were released from the album, both of which peaked at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart: "I Just Want to Be Your Everything" and "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water".

When Gibb had got the call from his brother Barry in June 1976 as he and Col Joye's company ATA had proceeded with the new single ("Words and Music") knowing that Gibb would go to Florida later that year, while his last recording session before moving to the US, including "In the End", "Flowing Rivers", "Come Home for the Winter" and "Let It Be Me" were re-recorded in Criteria.

He came to Miami in September and the sessions at Criteria are known to have coincided with the Eagles recording Hotel California, which they completed in October.

The core group was Joey Murcia and Tim Renwick on guitar, Paul Harris and Galuten himself on piano and keyboards and Harold Cowart and Ron Ziegler on bass and drums.

[4] After the release of Flowing Rivers, Andy revealed: I don't think you can pin any one thing on the way my voice and songwriting have developed.

A lot of people say my album, Flowing Rivers, sounds like the Bee Gees, but if I sang or wrote any differently than I do now, it wouldn't be me at all.
