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.

Good CD, but missing some of my favs.......2005-08-07

I grew up listening to Benny Hester's album, Benny From Here, which contained: Secret Thoughts, Streets of Las Vegas, When God Ran, Susie Said Yeah, To Fill Our Empty Hearts, Back To Basics, Can I Get To You From Here, Whoever Touches You, Marching On, and Hold Me.

Many of my favorites from this album can be found on PERSONAL BEST. And I was very thankful to be able to find these songs on CD--particularly When God Ran and To Fill Our Hearts--which were my favorites then and now.

I also enjoyed learning some new songs by Benny (and by "new" I mean new to me).

Nobody Knows Me Like You -- this song became an instant favorite. The piano is beautiful, and the lyrics are so poignant. It was as if the song were written just for me. I love it. 5 stars.

Be A Receiver -- a pleasant enough song, 4 stars

Legacy -- still pleasant, 4 stars

Secret Thoughts -- this song transports me back to my childhood...so by all means it earns 5 stars.

Remember Me-- another beautiful song. 4 stars

Jesus Came Into My Life -- nice song, 4 stars, for some reason it reminds me of the style of Orleans...

Melody Man, Out of the Natural, Underground River, Rubber Canoe nice enough background songs, but they don't stand out ... 3 stars

Whoever Touches You -- love it, 5 stars

To Fill Our Empty Hearts -- love it, 5 stars

Christ the Solid Rock -- nice and pleasant, 4 stars

When God Ran -- love it!!! 5 stars

This CD would be near perfect if only it contained Susie Said Yeah! and Can I Get To You From Here.

But overall a nice CD with a blend of fast and slow songs.

"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!

Impressed and Empowered.......2006-12-07

World gotcha down? Feel like givin'up? Get a hold of this awesome Sloan Wainwright recording and find yourself inspired to face the day, any day!
What really grabs is the voice. My first listen and I am saying "WOW, who IS this woman?!" Sloan comes from way down deep but, hers is not a blues voice, which brings me to categorizing the music, which I can't. If I owned a record store I am not sure where I would put the Sloan Wainwright cds.
Leave it to say that her cover of U2's "Where The Streets Have No Name" is fitting. I guess for lack of better words this is "Power Singer Songwriter".
This recording is chock full of well crafted songs and fitting, excellent production. It is a BIG sound that fills the speakers and the room. (In saying that,I am hopeful of catching Sloan on a stage somewhere, stripped down to a guitar or piano and that other awesome instrument she carries inside her.)
Highly reccomended. Four and three quarter stars!

Best Sloan Set Yet.......2004-06-12

Sloan's 4th CD is her best set yet! Her singing is confident, her songwriting is sterling, and the musicianship is unequivocally excellent. My favorite track is a remake of the title track from her 1998 CD. On this set "From Where You Are" is one of the loveliest of melodies, a slow burning torch song with David Sancious' gorgeous piano, "It's after. It's through. I cleared out your clothes closets. I gave away all your shoes. Rummaged round and touched the stuff that's left of you." Sloan's singing is so powerfully expressive. This was one of my favorite tracks from 2003, simply classic and irresistible. Another favorite for the positive thinking set is the gorgeous midtempo rocker "Good Day to Live." Sloan's voice is unique, most often reminding me of Chicago diva Bonnie Koloc. On this track she belts out the chorus, "Giving into living, it's a good day to live" while the song builds dramatically. Another favorite is the gorgeous melody of "Illuminate" with Sloan's wistful vocal rising and building, "Let spirit fly with the constellations, lift up our voices in prayerful harmony, join together in the jubilation!" The other tracks are also excellent from the haunting title track to her bold cover of U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name" to her addictive new original "Ready or Not." The CD concludes with "Summertime," a midtempo track molded from memories past. There are no weak tracks on "Cool Morning." Sloan is simply stunning as one of our best expressive singers. No longer will we refer to her as Loudon's sister or Rufus' aunt; she's her own woman. Don't miss this jewel! Bravo!
