For most people these days, if you mention the name Harry Nilsson you’ll be met with a blank look, but there was a time when he was one of the biggest selling recording artists in the 70s. By all accounts though, he was a shy, private man who hated the limelight and preferred to spend his time getting outrageously drunk with his best friend John Lennon.
If you listen to this album, then there will be at least a couple of tracks that you will recognise from the jaunty Gotta Get Up, the maudlin Without You, the genuine rock banger Jump into the Fire or the (borderline racist) novelty song Coconut. This is a great example of a 70s album that mixes genres and moods with gleeful abandon but whether that makes for a cohesive listen is another matter.
