0126. Harry Nilsson
Nilsson Schmilsson
A album that gets my feet tapping from the start can't be bad and well, Nilsson Schmilsson gets both feet tapping and the head nodding too.
It's a piece of magnificent pop from the energetic opening Gotta Get Up through the quirkyness of the one-chord song Coconut and into the ending whisper of I'll Never Leave.
This descendant of Swedish circus artist knew how to make a good album, even mixing in some r&b elements and influences from The Everly Brothers without losing the cohesion. Even the cover of the pathetic (in the word's true meaning) Without You sounds as a part of the concept.
