If you're a Bee Gees fan you're in for a treat!

Tom Hanks' wife Rita Wilson has teamed up with American actor Leslie Odom Jr. to release a beautifully emotive new cover of the Bee Gees' 1968 song 'Massachusetts.'

"The Bee Gees' songs are so beautiful, and I had never heard 'Massachusetts' as a duet," Wilson said about her rendition.

"I like the idea that these lovers had to split up for a while, go their own ways, and then eventually come back home to Massachusetts."

The song is one of 10 tracks on the 65-year-old's forthcoming album, Rita Wilson Now & Forever: Duets.

The album will see Wilson collaborating with numerous artists, including Elvis Costello, Keith Urban, Willie Nelson, Smokey Robinson and Jackson Browne.
