Now Voyager is the second solo album to be recorded by Barry Gibb, although it was his first to be released. Gibb had recorded an entire album in 1970 called The Kid's No Good, which never received official release. The album contains his biggest hits "Shine, Shine" and "Fine Line". The album also included the Olivia Newton-John duet "Face to Face", which was released as a promo single. In 1986, Gibb recorded his third solo album Moonlight Madness, which remains unreleased, leaving Now Voyager his only officially released album. Gibb co-produced the album with Karl Richardson, who worked with the Bee Gees from 1976 to 1979. Richardson worked with Barry until 1986, his last project with Barry being Moonlight Madness. Gibb finally released his second solo album Now Voyager as he explained: "It's something I always wanted to do, but I never quite felt confident enough to do it. The man who was really made me think seriously about it was Irving Azoff, who convinced me that there was possibly a market out there for me. As unhappy about it was we were at the time, we now appreciate why it didn't do well. We worked nine months on that album. That's crazy. I think you lose energy by doing that. The message has to be that we really can't take so long making albums. The business doesn't like to see its artists get too hot. I think the same thing may apply to Michael [Jackson]. As talented as the guy is, people will only hear something so many times and then they're ready for something else." Keyboardist George Bitzer co-wrote songs on this album (except songs 4 and 10) as well as Barry's brothers Maurice co-wrote "I Am Your Driver", "Lesson in Love", "Temptation" and "The Hunter" and Robin also on the "The Hunter". Barry himself wrote two songs for the album "Shatterproof" and "She Says". This album sounded like a Bee Gees album minus the harmonies of Robin and Maurice Gibb and throughout most of it, danceable rhythms and synthesizer work were noticeable. An example was the song "Fine Line". This album actually did better commercially than the most recent Bee Gees 1981 album Living Eyes. He started to record demos in August 1983 with the track "I Wanna Go Home with You", and he continued to record from November to December 1983, with the songs "Face to Face", "The Hunter", "Fine Line", "One Night (For Lovers)" and "Illusions". The musicians who played on the demos were Maurice Gibb on guitar, bass and synthesizer, and George Bitzer on piano and synthesizer. It was recorded at Middle Ear Studios, except for the string sweetening on few tracks which was done at Ocean Way in Los Angeles. Recording was perhaps done in May in order to allow for filming the audio-visual version of the album. Filming was done in August. Albhy Galuten is notably absent from the production team as he left for California in 1983 after disagreeing with Barry Gibb on where to go next. Albhy wanted to break free from the studio straight jacket of recording tracks to mechanical beats and dubbing onto them. Instead he suggested that they rent a theater in New York City where Barry could do a series of live performances before audiences for a week, using all the session players they usually used. They would record all the shows and pick the best take of each new song. Barry did not want to do it and Albhy moved on, but Karl Richardson carried on. The musicians were played on the album were Michael Brecker (who also worked with Steely Dan, Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones and others), Randy Brecker (who also worked with Frank Zappa, Bruce Springsteen and others). Roger Daltrey of The Who, Olivia Newton-John, Harry Wayne Casey of KC and the Sunshine Band and others sings backup on "Fine Line". Jimmie Haskell, who conduct the orchestra was also worked with Maurice earlier in 1984. The album reached originally #72 in US Billboard 200 before dropping to #88, then #119 on 24 November 1984 and #148 on 1 December 1984. The album had three singles, including "Shine, Shine", "Fine Line" and the promo single "Face to Face". He also released a full-length Now Voyager video. Several large posters for Now Voyager can been seen in the background of a record store in the Woody Allen film Hannah and Her Sisters. The album was mastered in Sterling Sound, New York and printed and made in West Germany. It was his only studio album that was officially released and credited to himself.
