ALYSSANDRA NIGHSWONGER – NIGHSWONGER SINGS NILSSON

Songwriter Alyssandra Nighswonger and producer Chris Schlarb have joined forces to create a stunning tribute to Harry Nilsson. The album, recorded at Long Beach studio BIG EGO, features 9 songs, including “Think About Your Troubles”, “Without Her”, “One, “He Needs Me”, “Me and My Arrow”, “Are You Sleeping?”, “P.O.V. Waltz”, “Good Old Desk”, and “The Puppy Song”. Schlarb, who has produced the likes of Mike Watt, Terry Reid, Swamp Dogg, and frequent Nilsson collaborator Jim Keltner, approached the project like a classic record and cultivated his own little ‘Wrecking Crew’ of musicians. He brought in drummer Danny Frankel, pianist R. Scott Dibble, bassist Anthony Shadduck, and George Madrid on pedal steel as the core band. Philip Glenn and Matthew Proffitt wrote the string and horn arrangements and the band tracked everything live together in three glorious days. It has been pressed to a limited edition orange vinyl with an album cover that has been meticulously cross stitched as a tip of the hat to Nilsson’s The Point!
