| I'll Never Leave You |
 |
| a tribute to Harry Nilsson |
| ||||||
| Now SHIPPING DIRECTLY TO YOU, our beloved listeners..."I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU: An Avante-Garde and Outsider Tribute to the Music of Harry Nilsson" (wd73) Our new tribute features 15 covers of works by of one of rock and pop's most prolific and diverse singer/songwriters, the outlandish Harry Nilsson! Known for his incredible vocal range and beautiful, strange, and humourous compositions, the Brooklyn-born Nilsson remains one of the rock and roll genre's most covered artists. He was produced by John Lennon and by Richard Perry, he was a co-hort of Ringo and Keith Moon, and his songs have been covered by artists as wide-ranging as Amiee Mann, Glen Campbell, and the Monkees. Not only all that, but he's also the star of Son of Dracula, the composer of songs for Robert Altman's Popeye, the author and composer of The Point, the soundtrack composer of Otto Preminger's Skidoo, and (with Terry Southern) the screenwriter of The Telephone. Wow, talk about name-dropping!! it's Ethereal, baby!! Again, a percentage of profits will benefit Amnesty International and it will be a limited collector's edition of 400 copies, each handmade, hand-stamped, and hand-numbered! This hot little number will sell for the low, low, exclusive Wood Records price of 17.95 per disc! You can't beat it with a STICK! Just take a look at the line-up: Peter Dizozza ....................Without Her Shank.............................Jump into the Fire OrimaR2 feat. NitWiT..............I'd Rather Be Dead the Neshama Alma Band.............Ambush Buzzsaw and the Shavings..........Best Friend (theme from the Courtship of Eddie's Father) Matt Kinnison.....................Coconut LAM...............................Driving Along Johnny J with Vorgus..............Spaceman Mary Jane.........................Me and My Arrow MWF...............................I'll Never Leave You Lolwolf...........................Black Sails David Spero Peligro...............It's a Jungle Out There plus (courtesy of the kind folks at Planting Seeds Records): Pinkie............................One Linda Draper and Brian Wurschum...The Lottery Song also keep yer bulbs clean for an additional mystery track by the Spaceheaters! OOOH GAH! - it's gonna be a wild ride, Clyde! As usual, we warn Nilsson fans who aren't familiar with WOOD that we are an avante garde and outsider label, so some of these covers are a real departure from the originals. Approximately 3 of the songs have a couple of naughty words so be sure you're 21 years of age or older! You can order yours RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW here's some customer comments and reviews: "This disc just proves how versatile and different Nilsson really was." "Harry was always experimental, but most people never saw it. That's why I like this tribute so much." "Linda Draper and Johnny J make this disc worth it." "Thanks for keeping thse songs alive." "You guys have turned out another great tribute. Bravo again!" "Brilliant idea for the cover art!" "Pinkie's version of 'One' made me turn pale." "Pinkie's beautiful closing version of 'one" is haunting. I also liked NItwiT's weird version of 'I'd rather be dead"." "I've listened to it over and over, but I can't hear any of the Nilsson song at all in NitwiT's cover of it. I"m all for experimentation but shouldn't there at least be a seed of the original in a cover version?" "This tribute is way dark. It's a very depressing disc." and don't forget...It is HE who will be king! |
