Before the Bee Gees were ha ha ha Stayin’ Alive as ’70s disco kings, they actually had a psychedelic period in the late ’60s that was equally brilliant and intriguing. 

Manchester-based singer-songwriter Luna Collins, and duo Strangers In A Strange Land, pay tribute to this period in the career of the brothers Gibb with a cover of their 1968 song “Lemons Never Forget.” 

The song is very Beatles-esque, and it originally appeared on the Bee Gees’ second UK album Horizontal. This Bee Gees’ era is one of Collins’ favorites, and it’s expertly captured in this current iteration by these musical colleagues that include Vince Melouney as lead guitarist. 

Luna Collins, the seasoned pop-rock musician and former frontwoman for the all-female band, The Relay, has released her latest single, “Man In The Mac” – Check it out on YouTube here;

The San Francisco native was heavily influenced by the music of Motown and the Everly Brothers, but when she saw The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show for the first time, she knew she wanted to be like that. Moving to the UK at 17, she experienced the emergence of the punk scene with bands like The Sex Pistols, The Jam and The Clash. She intertwined the catchy, high-energy vibe of the punk movement with her Beatles-inspired melodies when she returned to the United States, touring with her group The Relay.
