Muscle Shoals’ Kerry Gilbert Reflects on the Past with his debut solo album, 'The Song Remembers When' Kerry Gilbert, leader of the Kerry Gilbert Band (KGB), is celebrating the release of his first solo album, 'The Song Remembers When', a 13-song collection emphasizing lyrics and Gilbert’s vocals. “The Song Remembers When is a stripped-down, laid back, easy listening album that reflects back on songs that have special meaning to me. I want the listener to feel my voice in each and every song,” said Gilbert, who has been performing in northwest Alabama since 1985. The album not only includes songs covered by some of Nashville’s most recognizable performers, but also includes three original songs written by well-known Shoals area songwriters. The first original track is written by Muscle Shoals hit songwriter Billy Lawson (“Her”); the second original track is written by guitarist and instrument maker Hugh Banks (“Because You Love Me”) and the third ("When I First Saw You") is written by Russellville native and president of Crestwood Flash Entertainment, songwriter-producer, Eddie Martin. The title cut was written by Nashville songwriter Hugh Prestwood and originally recorded by Trisha Yearwood. Prestwood also penned Gilbert’s version of “Ghost In This House,” which was originally recorded by Muscle Shoals band Shenandoah. Gilbert includes covers of Elvis Presley’s “Are You Lonesome Tonight” and Hank Williams’ “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry.” Other songs are Paul Davis’ “I Go Crazy,” Merle Haggard’s “Today I Started Loving You Again,” Conway Twitty’s “Crazy In Love,” Ray Price’s “For The Good Times” and Dan Seals’ “One Friend.” He caps off the album with “Amanda” which was recorded earlier by Don Williams and Waylon Jennings.
