Grammy Award-winning guitarist Peter Frampton will perform “Baby, I Love Your Way” on “Conan” February 29. The performance celebrates the forthcoming release of his new album Acoustic Classics, due February 26 via RED Distribution. In addition, a new live video of Frampton performing the song with longtime collaborator Gordon Kennedy is premiering on The Huffington Post today [insert link]. For the first time ever, Frampton brings us stripped-down versions of his classic hits including “Lines On My Face,” “Do You Feel Like I Do,” “Show Me The Way” and more. Acoustic Classics also includes one new song, “All Down to Me,” which was co-written by Kennedy, who also co-produced Frampton's Grammy Award-winning album Fingerprints. “All Down to Me” is also the only track on the record that features a guest musician. See below for full track listing.The new album was mixed by Grammy Award-winning engineer Jeff Balding (Don Henley, Lionel Richie, Joe Cocker) and produced by Frampton himself. Of the recording process, Frampton explains, “The approach I took on this was that each song came across as if you are the first person to hear this song after I wrote it. I had to reverse engineer each song in order to get this result, which I feel I achieved.”Acoustic Classics is available for pre-order now and a special pre-order bundle is being offered exclusively on www.frampton.com, which includes the album, a pick set and signed lyric sheet. Frampton will also perform on DirecTV and AT&T's new weekly music program, the Audience Network, March 4. The programming will be available to both subscribers of DirecTV and AT&T U-Verse and the two platforms' mobile apps.Moreover, Frampton has extended his “Peter Frampton Raw, An Acoustic Tour” with more dates next month. Kennedy will join him again for the March run along with Frampton's son, singer and guitarist Julian Frampton. Peter Frampton remains one of the most celebrated artists and guitarists in rock history. At 16, he was lead singer and guitarist for British band the Herd. At 18, he co-founded one of the first super groups, seminal rock act Humble Pie. His session work includes collaborations with such legendary artists as George Harrison, Harry Nilsson, David Bowie, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ringo Starr, John Entwistle and many others. His fifth solo album, the electrifying Frampton Comes Alive! is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year and remains one of the top-selling live records of all time.

In this episode of LEGENDS: Podcast by All Day Vinyl, host Scott Dudelson (and his 8 year old daugher, Elsie) welcomes Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Belinda Carlisle of The Go-Go's for a conversation about her remarkable journey through music and her brand-new covers album Once Upon a Time in California. This project revisits the golden age of late 1960s and early 1970s singer-songwriters, with Belinda reinterpreting timeless classics that first inspired her as a young listener. She shares how California radio shaped her early love of melody, why songs like “Reflections of My Life” carry deep emotional meaning, and how the artistry of writers such as Harry Nilsson left a lasting mark on her. Belinda also reflects on her surprising leap from those melodic pop influences into the gritty punk scene, recalling her early days with the Germs and the explosive energy that fueled the Go-Go's. She discusses how the band's unique blend of punk urgency and pop craftsmanship turned them into one of the defining forces of the 1980s, paving the way for a groundbreaking career that continues to inspire generations. The conversation spans Belinda's solo success following the Go-Go's, the unforgettable experiences of her early live shows, and her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — a moment that celebrated her enduring influence. Belinda also offers a look at her current touring projects and gives listeners insight into her passionate animal welfare work through the Animal People Alliance, an organization dedicated to supporting street animals. Join us for a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation with one of rock and pop's most enduring voices.

Tyler Ballgame is a modern savant. On his four released tracks, there's a sweeping melancholy underpinned by the haunting beauty of Roy Orbison or wry-smiled dreamy Harry Nilsson. In this chat, Tyler talks of Shakespeare inspiration, studying songwriting Berkeley but never successfully shaking the idea that he was an outsider, and blagging a job interview that transplanted him on the other side of the country - where he started his new life, and now, career.

In a very special edition episode of IWOL we are joined by esteemed guest Nathaniel Rateliff. In addition to being a powerful force of nature on the stage performing his own music with the Night Sweats, Nathaniel can boast that he is the only man, besides Harry Nilsson, to attempt the extremely challenging repertoire of songs that make up Harry's God-like masterwork "A Little Touch Of Schmilsson In The Night". So we ask you, who better to come on and talk about this music? Just about no one.
Ben Cook-Feltz is back! This time, he's got a brand new release. A song-for-song re-creation of Harry Nilsson's 'Son of Schmilsson' (out today!). He has a big release party/concert at The Parkway on 8/10, featuring a truly stellar line-up. Here, we talk about the process and the result. Enjoy!

All the way from Sydney, Australia we are joined by Singer/Songwriter and Harry Nilsson enthusiast, Ben Lee. Ben requested an album he didn't know too well so we tackled "Duit On Mon Dei", the first offering from Harry's post Pussycats "Chaos Trilogy".
Er liebt sie alle: die Grosse und die Chliiine, die Dicke und die Dünne... nein, wirklich! Mit seinem vierten Soloalbum orientiert sich der sonst ziemlich laute Garage-Rocker an Fleetwood Mac, Harry Nilsson und weiteren smoothen Tönen aus Kalifornien. Love is in the Air!
Bret McKenzie now mainly works on movie soundtracks, the Simpsons, Minecraft and the Muppets among them, which brings the pure delight of hearing his songs sung by Lady Gaga, Benedict Cumberbatch, Miss Piggy and Tony Bennett. He talks here about his early life in Wellington (ballet teacher Mum, racehorse trainer Dad), narrative comedy, songwriting heroes and his new album Freak Out City, and unravels New Zealand's double-edged sense of humour. Along with … … how Randy Newman pitches songs for soundtracks … “the test of a good song works is if it works with just one instrument” … lyrics he loved growing up like 16 Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford – ‘Some people say a man is made out of mud/ A poor man's made out of muscle and blood' … Morrissey's wounded reaction to his sausage-firing Quilloughby on the Simpsons ‘Panic On The Streets Of Springfield' ... solving the “fun puzzles” of a song brief and writing for “donkeys who have a dream” … the ingenious humour of John Prine, Harry Nilsson and Leonard Cohen … the moment in his live shows where he asks the audience for a story and creates a song around it – “one woman suggested ‘falling out of love' with her husband standing right beside her” ... playing the local girls schools aged 15 as the drummer in a James Brown funk band … reworking rejected songs – “which was hard with one from Paddington with its multiple rhymes for marmalade and Peru” … Flight Of The Conchords lampooning the acts they loved (Bowie, Pet Shop Boys) and playing the O2 – “pretending to be a stadium band and the audience pretending to be a stadium audience” … live on-stage application of the John Lennon “pomegranate” lyric-solving technique … “Play like a used car salesman!

In this episode, Gerry Beckley; singer, songwriter, and co-founder of the iconic band America takes us on a remarkable journey through five decades of music, fame and friendship. Gerry talks about their timeless hits including “A Horse with No Name” and “Sister Golden Hair” and what it felt like to top the charts with both a No. 1 single and album at just 19 years old. He shares vivid stories of forming the band while still in high school, navigating sudden stardom, collaborating with legendary producer George Martin (The Beatles) and performing alongside everyone from Pink Floyd to Cat Stevens. From whirlwind early tours and surreal LA house parties with the likes of David Bowie, Ringo Starr and Harry Nilsson, to the emotional highs and challenges of a 53-year musical brotherhood with Dewey Bunnell — this is a rare and intimate look behind the curtain of one of the most enduring bands in rock history. Plus: The making of the acclaimed new documentary “I Need You: 53 Years of the Band America” and why their music still strikes a chord with fans across generations. Whether you're a lifelong fan or just discovering the band, this episode is packed with heart, humour, history and harmony.

Geoffrey Giuliano: Author, Actor and MusicologistEd interviews author and actor Geoffrey Giuliano.Geoffrey Giuliano (born September 11, 1953) is an American author, radio personality, and film actor, best known for his biographies of The Beatles members John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison, and of musician Pete Townshend. He is also known for his involvement in the Mclibel case.A biography Giuliano wrote, Lennon In America (released in 2000), was controversial. Giuliano said the book was based in part on transcripts of Lennon's journal given to him by the singer Harry Nilsson. The book was issued after Nilsson's death, and several people close to Nilsson do not believe he ever had the transcripts in his possession. Washington Post reporter David Segal quoted Giuliano's response when he was asked to corroborate his claim that Nilsson gave him the diaries. "It's obvious that I'm going to do things in an ethical manner." Segal also reported the view of Steven Gutstein, a former New York assistant district attorney who was asked to read the diaries during an early 1980s larceny lawsuit against former Lennon personal assistant Fred Seaman. Gutstein described his own memory of the diaries as "a lot of philosophical musings combined with mundane details of everyday life."http://www.geoffreygiuliano.net/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
This is an episode full of as much laughter and delight as the Harry Nilsson album in question. Just rock n roll clowns letting the good times roll on. Nothin' fancy. Grab a Brandy and dive in.
SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODEhttps://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflifeThe boys are in studio mode over the weekend so, while we do discuss and rank Harry Nilsson's "The Point" and re-cap our amazing time with Jimmy Webb, it's also a bit of an IWOL slice of life episode. Some gear talk too, which we know everyone loves.
May Pang was John Lennon's companion for the late-1973-to-early-1975 period that has become known as Lennon's “lost weekend.” Although Pang has used that phrase for her documentary and photo exhibition, she doesn't see this time as “lost” for Lennon. Not only did he record two albums (Walls and Bridges and Rock ‘n' Roll) and produce another (Harry Nilsson's Pussy Cats), but Pang reunited him with his son Julian and was there when he reconnected with Paul McCartney and considered writing with him again. She puts Lennon's Los Angeles nightclub antics in context, describes Rock ‘n' Roll producer Phil Spector's crazed behavior and details the night she and Lennon saw a UFO from their New York City balcony. She also recounts interactions with Yoko Ono, who set her up with her husband when Pang was the couple's assistant, and offers a surprising take on the recent Beatles release “Now and Then.” And she explains why George Harrison ripped Lennon's glasses off his face.

Our guest on today's episode of Impossible Way Of Life needs no introduction. Having Jimmy Webb on our show was a dream come true for both of us. In fact, it was an almost mystical experience. This is a man who was in the recording studios, limousines and bars that we have romanticized since the day we started this podcast (and well before). Beyond that, he happened to write some of the most iconic songs in pop music history. So to have him here for the simple, yet beautiful purpose of sharing stories about his friend Harry Nilsson was one of the highlights of our lives.

Today on the pod we are beyond excited to be joined by the great Fred Tackett. In addition to being a member of Little Feat, Fred has played with just about everyone you can think of. He was a member of Christian Bob's touring band, did the Lido Shuffle with Boz Scaggs, and strummed along with the Rhinestone Cowboy. But most importantly, for the sake of this show, and this month, he was a great friend of Harry Nilsson's. Fred was generous enough to share a lot of great stories and memories with us over the hour and, needless to say, you don't wanna miss it.
Imagine being the person who asks, “What the hell happened to Blood, Sweat and Tears?” Beside that documentary, John Scheinfeld, who is from Milwaukee, masterminded films like “The U.S. Vs. John Lennon,” “Reinventing Elvis: The '68 Comeback” and “Who is Harry Nilsson and Why is Everybody Talking About Him?” John is an Emmy and Grammy-nominated filmmaker. I was working at WISN at the time and John wrote the catchy slogan: “Radio 11, WISN, of course.” You might have one of those bumper stickers, which I see selling on Ebay for $10.95. John surprised me at the end of the interview with a personal memory.
In which Trebor & Yma owe you an explanation ... and we give it to you! What we each owe to a rational listener. "No Kings" ... they're singing songs, and they're carrying signs. Also, Delaware declares independence, the Battle of Petersburg begins, we wish a Happy Birthday to Julie Hagerty and (posthumously) Harry Nilsson, we review The Objectivist Ethics, and wish you `a Happy Father's Day!
Just minutes before recording an episode about Harry Nilsson we heard that Brian Wilson had died. So we took this opportunity to speak about both of them and the wonderful similarities they share in their musical philosophies. Two artists who understood the importance of maintaining child-like wonder as long as possible in order to keep the soul tethered to the other world, the world of dreams. After all, dreams are nothing more than wishes and a dream is a wish your heart makes. RIP Brian.
We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2017 conversation with Jimmy Webb. ABOUT JIMMY WEBBJimmy Webb emerged as a superstar songwriter and arranger in 1967 when two of his songs – The 5th Dimension's “Up, Up and Away” and Glen Campbell's “By the Time I Get to Phoenix” - were among the five nominees for the Grammy's Song of the Year award. He went on to write a string of major hits for Campbell, including “Wichita Lineman,” “Galveston,” "Where's the Playground Susie,” “Honey Come Back,” and many others. Additionally, he penned “MacArthur Park,” which was a hit for a diverse range of artists, including Richard Harris, Waylon Jennings, Tony Bennett, Andy Williams, and Donna Summer; “The Worst That Could Happen,” which was a Top 5 hit for The Brooklyn Bridge; “Didn't We,” which was recorded by Thelma Houston, Frank Sinatra, Diana Ross, and Barbra Streisand; “All I Know,” which became a Top 10 hit for Art Garfunkel; “The Moon's a Harsh Mistress,” which has been recorded by Joe Cocker, Judy Collins, Linda Ronstadt, and Josh Groban; and “If These Walls Could Speak,” which was recorded by Glen Campbell, Amy Grant, Nanci Griffith, and Shawn Colvin. Others who've covered material from the Jimmy Webb songbook include Diana Ross, Dusty Springfield, Nina Simone, The Four Tops, Roberta Flack, The Temptations, The Association, Tom Jones, Dionne Warwick, Cass Elliot, Harry Nilsson, Nancy Wilson, Cher, Bob Dylan, The Everly Brothers, Nick Cave, John Denver, Kenny Rogers, Sheena Easton, David Crosby, Rosemary Clooney, Michael Feinstein, R.E.M., Aimee Mann, America, Aretha Franklin, Isaac Hayes, Peggy Lee, Bette Midler, James Taylor, Carrie Underwood, Dwight Yoakam, and The Highwaymen (consisting of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson), who took Jimmy's song “Highwayman” to #1, earning him a Grammy for Country Song of the Year. As an artist, he has released more than a dozen albums. One of the most celebrated songwriters on the planet, Jimmy is the only individual to win Grammy awards for music, lyrics, and orchestration. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Great American Songbook Hall of Fame. Additionally, he has received ASCAP's Lifetime Achievement Award, the Influential Songwriter Award from the National Music Publishers Association, and the Academy of Country Music's prestigious Poets Award. In 2015 he was named among Rolling Stone magazine's 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time. Jimmy's memoir, The Cake and the Rain, details his formative years and early career through 1973. It's available now from St. Martin's Press.

Pop open a can of spinach and set sail for the far-off year of 1980, when noted auteur Robert Altman had his crew build an entire functioning town so they could shoot a Popeye movie. This unassuming comic strip adaptation represents the collision of the New Hollywood movement and the old studio system, both in their waning days; neither would survive “Stalag Altman,” as star Robin Williams coined it. Paul and Arlo are delighted by the end result, an improvisational-seeming ensemble picture in the Altman vein that also features cartoon gags, characters bursting into songs penned by Harry Nilsson, and a giant octopus. The boys discuss why the movie is so much better than its reputation suggests, Robin Williams' and Shelly Duvall's underappreciated performances, the surprisingly moving throughline of fatherhood, and so much more. Plus, a whole bunch of trailers for Marvel's Thunderbolts*, the new season of animated sci-fi anthology Love Death + Robots, the animated Predator movie Killer of Killers, and Wes Anderson's The Phoenician Scheme; Paul stuns Arlo by singing the praises of the new Amazing Spider-Man #1; and Arlo is still reading old school Fantastic Four. NEXT: just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, it's another That Was Then, as Paul, Arlo, and Eric Sipple take a bite out of Steven Spielberg's Jaws on the eve of its 50th anniversary.

Welcome to the age of discourse dumping, are you dizzy? Do you study emoji eyes to find your facial recognition? Does the world look like a Cubist painting? Is the phrase ‘rubber baby buggy bumper' starting to make sense? Not to worry. We are here to reassure you that the White Knight is, in fact, talking backwards and the inmates are indeed running the asylum. Our prescription: put the lime in the coconut and drink them both together, listen to Episode 72, and then you'll feel better. HAG is, after all, the Harry Nilsson of history podcasts, and our very special guest today is Moritz Mihatsch, Cambridge scholar and co-author (with Michael Mulligan) of Shifting Sovereignties (available now). Their terrific new book offers an illuminating journey through the global history of what power has forever wanted you to believe, i.e. that the right folks are in charge. Excavating the meaning of sovereignty from the sedimentary layers of the human past, our guest explains why governing has always relied on a Wizard of Oz-like control over sound and color, equal parts legal pretense and quasi-religious authority, to create cover for whatever power wishes to do. So click your heels twice, repeat “there's no home like HAG, there's no home like HAG,” and settle in for more therapeutic historical analysis of a world trying to make us crazy.Website: History Against the GrainOpening Theme by Jessie DeCarloMusic Interludes:Gil Scott Heron and Makaya McCraven: "Running"Darkside: "American References"

Harry Nilsson ping-ponged through the songwriter-for-hire business and got some very famous admirers in the process before finding critical success with his breakthrough hit Nilsson Schmilsson.
