"Drown On the River" is a song recorded by Barry Gibb, released as a single in August 2007 weeks after he released his previous single "Underworld". It was Gibb's first country single. It was included on the soundtrack of the film Deal on 29 April 2008, along with other country songs. It was also included on the multiple-artist compilation album How Many Sleeps? (2008) released only in Europe.[1]

## Composition

The song's recordings features Gibb on vocals and guitar, Steve Gibb on guitar, Big Dan on banjo and mandolin and Ashley Gibb on maracas.[2]
