Hail Satin is an album by American rock band Foo Fighters under the name Dee Gees,[3] released on July 17, 2021, for Record Store Day.[4] The album, originally issued exclusively on vinyl (but appearing on digital platforms such as Apple Music, Spotify and Amazon Prime Music two days later on July 19), consists of five disco covers on its A-side—four originally by the Bee Gees and one originally by their brother Andy Gibb—and five live versions of songs from the Foo Fighters' 2021 album Medicine at Midnight on its B-side.[1]

Background[]

Foo Fighters previously performed Andy Gibb's 1978 song "Shadow Dancing" during Linda Perry's Rock 'n' Relief livestream and the Bee Gees' "You Should Be Dancing" on Jo Whiley's Sofa Session show on BBC Radio 2.[5] Dave Grohl said about the recording of "You Should Be Dancing": "I have never, ever in my life sung like that, but it was the easiest song I have ever sung in my entire life! I sang the song, and it was like six minutes and I was done. I should have been singing like this for the last 25 years!"[5]
