Free Music Notes for A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night
Free Music Review: Absolutely fantastic!
Hit: 5 Stars
I was aware of Harry Nilsson from the beginning of his career. He was way ahead of the curve and somewhat misunderstood and underappreciated in his time.
Rod Stewart, especially, has mined what we call the "Great American Songbook" in 4 albums; Barry Manilow and other have done that in recent years, too... rediscover these songwriters who toiled in the 20s, 30 & 40s.
Well, Nilsson was the first of the rock n roll era musicians to record an album of standards. When it first came out, it was a complete departure from his previous work, and as such, was not particularly well received at the time. Critics liked it and it was well reviewed, but it did not sell all that well.
When I found out it was re-released on CD, I jumped... my vinyl copy of this gem is totally worn out. For these 20 year old ears in 1973, it was the first time I had heard these songs. Nilsson was decades ahead of his time in recording standards.
His performaces here are terrific; great singing - this is no novelty album. It is a masterpiece.

WHAT A FABULOUS CD...I'VE LISTENED TO THESE OLD CLASSIC LOVE SONGS FROM DOZENS OF ARTISTS BUT THIS IS "THE BEST"....THE EMOTION OF ROMANCE IN THESE SONGS COMES THROUGH LOUD AND CLEAR. HIS VOICE IS TREMDOUSLY SOOTHING...YOU WON'T BE SORRY YOU INVESTED IN THIS ONE...Free Music Review: a master of popular music - from any era
Hit: 5 Stars
Oh how we miss you Harry. Who knew he was setting a precedent, way back then. Others have followed, from Ronstadt to Rod, but none with such charm. His voice was a good as ever, and his fearless and free command of the possibilities in a melody - enchanting. Sweet music.Free Music Review: Raving about this

This guy Nilsson was the best writer/arranger, this CD is so good you can listen over and over and not get tired of hearing it. Arrangements are perfect, smooth, listening is easy. Everyone I've given it to loves it.Free Music Review: Sleepers
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the best album ever made of sleepers. Much, much better than anything Rod Stewart has done. If you love the old sleepers music revived then this is the album for you. Wonderful
