Reviews:
The heart has reasons which reason knows not of When Nilsson released this in '73, it confused a lot of his fans, and most everyone else. There wasn't a big market in American nostalgia of the pre-WWII period. The arrangements by Gordon Jenkins (whom Nilsson specifically sought out) were considered old-fashioned and syrupy.
But there is an honest deep yearning, a tenderness and affection, in Nilsson's voice, and in the way he reaches to the interior meanings of these songs, that transcends fashion, time, and changing tastes. It's as if he knew that all that separates us from all other humans in all other times are changing mores of fashion, food, and current events. The big meaningful things and the big emotions are always the same.
Thus these songs, which meant so much when first written and then fell into a trashbin labeled "Not relevant", become the way Nilsson connects himself and all his listeners to the eternal feelings and verities that really do make us all human, starting with the sweetness, pain, and longing of love between two people. These are truths that no amount of overproduced Diva music can ever begin to emulate.
Give this to a quiet teenager. It will change the way they feel about themselves and their feeling, and may just change how they bear themselves through life.
Harry, you are still missed. You died much too young. But in this recording, your spirit still sings for us. Pure Vintage Schmaltz Long before Rod Stewart, George Michael and others got on the old standards bandwagon, Harry Nilsson recorded "A Little Touch of Schmilsson In The Night" which was played all over San Francisco in the 1970's in elegant cafes. This cd has been retitled, but is basically the same music he recorded back in the 70's. It still holds up. Harry Nilsson fans will love hearing him again, and those not familiar with his unique voice and style will enjoy it also. Great renditions of old standards Nillson outdid himself with this recording. Great selections with amazingly sincere vocals. His falsetto is truly unbelievable. Ahead of it's time Great album. Excellent interpretation of classic melodies released long before everyone else started doing classics. Buy this before you spend money on more recent releases by artists paying homage to great american songs. AS TIME GOES BY This is one of the best cds ever. I can't think of any that I enjoy listening to more. |
