Nilsson Sings Newman

Harps & Angels Randy Newman's first studio album of all new material in nearly a decade is, by turns, hilarious, poignant and scathingly satirical.

Nilsson Schmilsson The late Harry Nilsson's creative and commercial peak, this LP showcases the singer-songwriter's lighthearted worldview to best advantage.

Best ever album
Combining Harry Nilsson's voice and arrangements with the genius of Randy Newman's songs is a stroke of genius on the part of Nilsson. Oh, how I miss Harry. His versions of Newman's songs outshone Newman's own versions. If I could recommend two albums from those days, the other would be Abbey Road. Like Abbey Road, the Nillson album contains not one single bad track. The death of Harry Nilsson killed a little part of me. Fortunately, he survives in recorded form. Do not miss "Nilsson Sings Newman" if you claim to know the history of contemporary music.

flabbergasted
I've been trying various Nilsson records out over the last few weeks and this is the one that finally got me. Holy cow. For my tastes, a true overlooked classic. Of course, the songs are great. The vocals (incredible harmonies) are heartbreaking. And then Newman on piano -- you can't ask for much more. Highly recommended.

A Somewhat Dissenting View
I owned this album on vinyl back in the day. It was always one of my favorites; particularly because it was so small, so intimate and so utterly un-pop. I've read some carping here about the inclusion of "Beehive State". I gotta disagree; it happens to be my favorite cut.

Two boys mystified by rock and roll, meant for one another
Nilsson and Newman, two boys mystified by rock and roll, were meant for one another. HARRY reflects Nilsson's penchant for British music hall: 4 stars. It opens with Nilsson alone, where he can display his skill as a crooner for our times, somehow uniting town-park gazebo Americana, Washington Park folk, and British music hall. No one else comes close. He has a gorgeous voice, but he is not Sinatra as claimed at the time. Settings fit songs and voice well. High standards throughout. Stand-out: tr 10-Lord must be in New York City. Adding NILSSON SINGS NEWMAN ups the ante. I have searched for this album for decades; it is one of the best albums of all time and a personal favorite: 5 stars. [64:35]

Randy Newman's best record because he didn't sing
Kalo is dead-right about this being a lieder recital. But don't let that turn you off. Like Rob Damn said, THE BEEHIVE STATE is an utter dud. But even worse is COWBOY, which ends in a cascading cacophony-tribute to John Barry's THEME FROM MIDNIGHT COWBOY. Like Unkle Joe said, LIVING WITHOUT YOU is the clincher. The sung-by-Harry version is infinitely superior to the sung-by-Randy version due to the fact that Harry had an actual voice and could actually sing. Randy's lonely echoed piano chords are incredibly eloquent.
