Harry Nilsson - Nilsson Sings Newman - Speakers Corner LP

180 Gram Vinyl — Speakers Corner Reissue

On this 1970 album, Harry Nilsson devotes an entire record to the songs of the then little-known Randy Newman, with Newman himself accompanying on piano. Through layered, overdubbed harmonies, Nilsson makes Newman's bittersweet, sharply observed songs — "Love Story," "Dayton, Ohio 1903" and more — easy to savor. Spare arrangements of piano, electric harpsichord and organ let the songcraft shine.
