Brass Bed - Melt White

©2010 Art Design by Peter DeHart + Allison Bohl

Brass Bed songs are strange. Sometimes it sounds like a 70's powerpop band and sometimes like a experimental avant garde ensemble but overall it's a surprisingly good combination. Melt White is not of  'Sgt. Pepper' greatness but it has some simularities. God Save the Thieves and Strangers are pure McCartney pop.

Brass Bed With Allison Bohl - On Nilsson

Brass Bed and long-time collaborator Allison Bohl, decided to have a go on four of Harry’s songs. They created somewhat haunted versions of his songs. The songs "He's Large" and "He Needs Me" are from the live action Popeye movie (1980). 

It's nice but as an introduction to Harry Nilsson’s work, you would be better served by actually picking up one of Harry's records (Aerial Ballet or Nilsson Schmilsson preferably). Those interested in Brass Bed should check out his album "Melt White", pure McCartney pop.
