[CRAZY-HORSE]

HARRY NILSSON "harry"  cd,  1969:

Harry's fourth...
his first to chart in his homeland, but at a lowly #120...
a couple of covers on it, most notably Beatles "mother natures son"...
he does a fairly good cover of it too...
another of the covers, "mr bojangles", no one, and I mean no one should ever
be allowed to cover this Sammy Jnr classic, but again, Harry gets the thumbs up
from me for it....
most of the songs are in the vein of Vaudeville or Music Hall and are piano based,
I like that style, its a simple one, but its melodic...
best track on here is his self penned classic "I guess the Lord must be in New York City"...
that one wasn't really a big hit back in the day, it only peaked at #34 US, #25 CAN and #66 AU...
either way, a pretty good album from Mr Nilsson

I LIKE THIS ALBUM:
