Although Nilsson didn't select the tracks for this two-CD collection drawn from his '60s and '70s work for RCA, Personal Best generously touches on the many sides of his musical personality: the whimsical (his layered version of the Beatles' "You Can't Do That"), the soaring ("Without You," "Don't Leave Me"), and the flat-out oddball (a cover of the Louis Jordan-Ray Charles classic "Early in the Morning"). Holding it all together is his tremendous melodic sense and a voice that was at first gorgeous, then ravaged by the artist's excesses. When he died in 1994, the world lost one of its truest originals. --Rickey Wright

The best from one of the best.......2006-06-21
If you appreciate finely crafted pop/rock music and a one-of-a-kind knockout singer with a 4 plus octave range, it's pretty tough to go wrong with this collection. Harry Nilsson was one of the best ever, and 50 songs aren't enough, but what is here, particularly the period from 1967-1973, is incredible.
I really wanted to correct the plethora of misinformation that appears in "Marty from S.F.'s" review. First, Nilsson first recorded in 1962, not 1964, and that material (originally demos) is currently available. Also, I don't know how many singles Harry actually released (I'm thinking somewhere around 20-24), but it is nowhere near 60. Finally, from 1967 to 1981 (he didn't release anything after 1981), he released 14 albums. This does not include the soundtrack "Skidoo", for which he wrote some material, but certainly can't be considered a Nilsson album. It also does not include Son of Dracula or Aerial Pandamonium Ballet. Dracula (soundtrack to the terrible film) only included one new song (Daybreak) and A.P.B. was a remixed composite of Harry's first two LPs, released to capitalize on his new found popularity and respect after winning a Grammy for Everybody's Talking.
I love that Amazon provides this great forum for sharing POV, but I don't care for those who want to rewrite history. The facts are the facts...don't mess with 'em.
The Best Of The Rest!!!.......2006-03-16
This is a great compilation of Harry Nilsson starting out with his autobiography song 1941 all the way up to his last songs released in 1977 !!! The only problem is they could have added a few more favorites this compilation like Cuddly Toy , The Puppy Song which were included on his Single Cd Greatest Hits also they could have included Kojak Columbo and Who Done It, maybe even the Long version instead of the Single version of Jump into the Fire but overall a nice package!!!
Should'a been 3 discs and the correct track order for Harry.......2006-01-29
Rock history is littered with the bones of artists who were broken by their record companies, RCA were no different, Harry wanted 3 discs and the tracks to be in the order he felt was right. They wouldn't and didn't, not long after he died of a massive heart attack. Not suprisingly really! Still, these ARE some of his greatest gifts to us, sadly you can see how his lifestlye finally ravaged that sublime voice and his pitch was not so perfect, but still an amazing legacy we can enjoy for ever.
Very comprehensive anthology containing 49 songs..........2004-12-08
Very comprehensive anthology containing 49 songs from 1964 to 1992. Includes a 36 page booklet with an excellent biography with lots of interesting insights and trivia and plenty of cool photos. Normal people would be better served owning either a greatest hits collection or his phenomenal album Nilsson Schmilsson, but of course I'm not normal.
A Broad taste of Harry.......2004-06-05
This is a broad collection of Harry Nilsson tunes from early works such as Cuddly Toy(My Best Friend) to Midnight Cowboy to his Classic Nilsson Smilsson work to the end of the trail when he does his Pussycats album with his voice sounding much labored. There is virtually every memorable tune that Harry has done such as he early 70's sweet "Me and My Arrow" to soft clasics that are joyous renditions such as "Somewhere over the Rainbow" and "as Time Goes By" and his song about New York City. These latter songs have gotten play on the Big Screen with "You've Got Mail" and other romance movies showing that Nilsonn's voice was elagant and beautiful even for today's adult romantic fims. The range is very broad and some songs I feel do not peice together well as the CD tries to capture something during the entire length of Harry's career. It is still a great collection. The great thing about a CD is that you can push a button to by pass a tune to get to those that you love. This Cd gives you a nice swath of Nilsson's career.

Gentleman Jim From the Early Days Until It Was Over.......2004-11-17
This is another long-gone but popular artist whose compilations are many. This is a good one that covers the early songs like "Mexican Joe" and an oft-recorded "I Love You Because" up to "Angels Don't Lie" around the time of Jim's fatal crash. With all of the man's heartbreak songs, starting notably with "Four Walls", there is a well-orchestrated background sound that adds to the poignancy of this velvet-toned performer. Country songwriting talent abounds with "Distant Drums" (Hall of Famer Cindy Walker), "Welcome to my World" (likewise Hank Cochran) and "I Missed Me" (Whispering Bill Anderson). There were other songs of note released after Jim Reeves' death not on this compilation such as "That's When I See the Blues (In Your Pretty Brown Eyes)" but if you look around, you might still want to buy this one. It's a keeper.

"i can see a brave tomorrow/when i might just leave this town".......2007-06-22
i went to see the reunited team dresch play this week and even after more than ten years, the songs are still relevant, blisteringly spot-on, and brought tears to my eyes. the ladies in team dresch have an amazing and unique thing going with this band and their reunion couldn't have come at a better time.
their unique voices, intricate guitar strains, and political and emotional lyrics underpin the overarching themes of self acceptance, love, queer positivity, inner strength, passionate politics, and the search for role models for gay and questioning youth.
woven together tightly and lovingly, this record is your blanket of protection; warm, comforting and assuring when you can find no other solace in this homophobic culture.
Amazing musicianship.......2007-01-24
The riot grrrl/queercore movements of the 90s produced some great stuff. A whole lot more than most people think, because the prevalent opinion is that politics were always ahead of music in those movements and because of queercore/grrrl bands always being criticized roughly for any technical flaws, despite such flaws being typical for punk (even many legendary punk bands).
Team Dresch proves the politics ahead of music theory to be completely wrong. Not only do the songs have plenty of hooks, passion and intelligent lyrics. They also have one thing that even a fair share of great punk/indie music in general lacks - skilled musicianship. Queercore/riot grrrl bands had a variety of different sounds so it's not really possible to make comparisons but, still, let's just say: this is the cream of the crop. The album is of course lesbian-themed but I was very much able to identify with the lyrics despite being straight. Buy this album, it won't disappoint you!
good good good.......2005-11-27
i just got this cd about a week ago, and after hearing the first two tracks i was sold. i purchased the cd simply because of hearing so much about them, kaia and donna. I was very pleased to hear some great music to go along with the hype!
Classic.......2002-01-08
Both of Team Dresch's albums are amazing - this may be the most essential. Great mix of punk, rock & folk, with Kaia and Jodi lending their usually brilliant voices and lyrics to the mix. This is one of my all-time favorite records!
My Personal Best Record.......2000-06-29
I bought this CD 6 years ago and it didn't get filed into my collection for about a year because it never left my CD player for more than a day or two. I've revisited "Personal Best" at least once a year since and it continues to amaze me. I believe Donna Dresch used to play bass in Dinosaur Jr. for a brief period? J Mascis should kick himself for not letting Donna rock with him on guitar. Lesbian anthems abound on this record but I never thought of it as lesbian in nature because the music cuts straight and pure and speaks to anyone with any guts. Soaring guitars, beautiful melodies, and a punch I haven't felt this strong for years! Stop reading and buy this now!

One of my better finds this year........2003-04-17
This is a great CD. I picked it up just because I love Loudon Wainwright but the style is quite different. The style is sort of contemporary rock-folk. The musicianship is superb and she has a very distinctive voice. I throw this on when I am looking for something a little different. Having picked it up on a whim it has quickly risen to the top of my play list.
Dirty Linen review by Greg Linder.......1998-10-20
Dirty Linen review of SLOAN WAINWRIGHT'S CD, Sloan Wainwright (Waterbug 1995) by Greg Linder
Here's a wonderful voice not squandered on mediocre material or produced into oblivion. and here's wonderful material not delivered in a voice we must make excuses for. Sloan Wainwright marks the full length debut of a singular vocalist/songwriter and her equally distinctive band. Sloan is the youngest sister of folk veteran Loudon Wainwright III, but she sounds not a quark like her illustrious sibling. Instead, her voice carries the forthright, husky self-assertion of Joan Armatrading early recordings; her unorthodox phrasing and poetic enunciation would please the young Tim Buckley; and her melodies are the aural equivalent of smoky, tantalizing aromas emanating from a soul kitchen. Ten of the CD's 12 selections are originals written by Wainwright -- most are moving, articulate explorations of love and identity imbued with the acknowledged influence of Joni Mitchell. Hence the piano-and-vocal-only rumination on "I'm Only Listening": "I can hear the truth/Is it true that what I hear could set me free?/It sounds like the three-inch finch/Singing from the thistle weed." On the other hand, "Hey Girl" delivers a 60's-style pop/soul groove, and "Stand" is a resounding remake of Sly and the Family Stone's 1969 call to activism.
