Free Music Notes for Nilsson Schmilsson
Free Music Review: Gotta Get It!
Hit: 5 Stars
OK - This is it! For all you "Harry" freaks out there, this a gotta have album! Wonderfully remastered and the bonus tracks are great, esp. "Old Forgotten Soldier." Harry was a prophet of the times to come. And don't forget to listen to ALL of track sixteen - the demo version of "Gotta Get Up". And last but by no means least are the wonderful liner notes - a little booklet in interview format with pictures. Notes contain factoids that you didn't know about. Like, what happened to the writers of "Without You" (changes the meaning of the song!) and the photographic details about the album cover-shoot. Only thing missing is the poster of Harry that came with the original vinyl release!Free Music Review: Who was Harry Nielson?
Hit: 5 Stars
For those of you who are not familiar with this talented musical genius, there is an autobiography that was done this year. It is basically his life story from beginning to end. I believe the title is "Who was Harry Nielson?" and it can be downloaded from Netflix. His story is told through a variety of interviews with the people that knew him well. (The Smothers Brothers, Robin Williams, Mickey Dolenz, to name a few.) My husband and I watched it and enjoyed it. It was very sad that he died before his time.
This album was his piece de resistance. His music overall is a gift that he left to this world. It was his legacy.

Free Music Review: WOW
Hit: 5 Stars
Easily one of the top ten albums of all time. Nilsson jumps around into different genre's with an intensity that very few artists possess; and even fewer can lay down in the studio. Each and every title is a treat unto itself from the heartful depth of "Without You" to the alcohol induced whimsy of "Coconut". The simplicity of his songwriting plays out very well in "Gotta Get Up" and turns into a runaway train in "Jump into the Fire". The array of musical master's playing support on this album is incredible. You will not be disappointed with this purchase.Free Music Review: Another Great Album From The 70's
Hit: 5 Stars
I can't carry a note in a bucket. I have a list of about five pop/rock singers that I wish I could sound like. Of course, Elvis is number one but Harry Nilsson is a close second.
I judge how good an album is by how many songs you like on the album. Nilsson Schmilsson is one of those albums where every song is good and memorable. The two best are the ones released on top forty radio - Without You and Coconut.
I highly recommend this album and Harry Nilsson to everyone. Every song will have you snapping your fingers.
Free Music Review: The Definitive Version Of Harry Nilsson's Definitive Album
Hit: 5 Stars
This 2004 remaster is the definitive verson of NILSSON SCHMILSSON, Harry Nilsson's definitive album. In addition to the original album, which includes affecting balladry (a cover of Badfinger's "Without You"), loopy humor (the tropically-flavored "Coconut"), and straight-out rock & roll ("Jump Into The Fire"), this CD contains six bonus cuts which actually add to the worthiness of the album. The homey feel of this album, unique in an era known for bombast, makes NILSSON SCHMILSSON the place to start your Harry Nilsson collection.
