Our Take

Upon diving into Harry Nilsson's RCA Albums Collection, I found myself immersed in a whimsical world of catchy tunes and quirky lyrics. Nilsson's unique vocals and playful instrumentation create a sound that is both timeless and refreshing.

The collection kicks off with the classic album "Pandemonium Shadow Show", a psychedelic pop masterpiece that sets the tone for what's to come. Tracks like "Ten Little Indians" and "1941" showcase Nilsson's knack for blending catchy melodies with thought-provoking lyrics.

Moving on to "Aerial Ballet", Nilsson continues to dazzle with his infectious energy and irresistible charm. Songs like "One", with its catchy hook and infectious groove, will have you tapping your feet in no time.

As the collection progresses, we are treated to gems like "Harry" and "Nilsson Sings Newman", which further showcase Nilsson's talent as both a singer and songwriter. The latter album, featuring Nilsson's renditions of songs by Randy Newman, is a standout, with tracks like "Living Without You" and "Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear" leaving a lasting impression.

Overall, Harry Nilsson's RCA Albums Collection is a delightful journey through the music of a true original. With its infectious melodies, clever lyrics, and timeless appeal, this collection is a must-listen for music fans of all ages. So sit back, relax, and let Harry Nilsson take you on a musical adventure you won't soon forget.

About the artist

Harry Nilsson

Few artists have managed to straddle the line between mainstream success and cult adoration quite like Harry Nilsson. With a voice like butter and a knack for crafting infectious melodies, Nilsson has carved out a unique place in the pantheon of rock and pop music. Born in Brooklyn in the swinging sixties, Nilsson first made a name for himself as a songwriter, penning hits for artists like the Monkees and Three Dog Night. But it was his solo career that truly set him apart. With albums like "Pandemonium Shadow Show" and "Aerial Ballet", Nilsson proved himself to be a master of blending lush orchestration with emotionally raw lyrics. But it was his seminal album "Nilsson Schmilsson" that truly catapulted him into the stratosphere. From the anthemic "Gotta Get Up" to the heartbreaking ballad "Without You", Nilsson showcased his range and talent in a way that few artists could ever hope to match. And let's not forget his penchant for the absurd, with tracks like "Coconut" and "Spaceman" showcasing his quirky sense of humor. Despite his undeniable talent, Nilsson's personal life was often tumultuous, with struggles with substance abuse and health issues casting a shadow over his later years. But through it all, his music remained a testament to his brilliance and endurance. Harry Nilsson may no longer be with us, but his legacy lives on in the hearts of music lovers everywhere. Raise a glass to the man who sang like an angel and lived like a devil. Cheers, Harry.
