Happy Sunday folks...

We take a little break from Harry Nilsson to develop a classic rock / IWOL version of Monopoly.

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.

It's Harry's birthday! What better way to celebrate than to discuss his bedroom pop masterpiece "Nilsson Sings Newman". Although it may not have been the best business decision to record a whole album of songs by a relatively unknown songwriter, it is a bold statement about the power of collaboration. Harry is out to show us that, to him, a great song is all that matters. Harry Birthday to the man!

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.

Nilsson month continues and we are joined again by IWOL three timer's club member Johanna Samuels to discuss Harry Nilsson's "Ariel Ballet". This is the second of Harry's trapeze-like vocal showcase albums for RCA and, with the inclusion of "Everybody's Talkin'", the one that really made him a star.

It's Nilsson month on Impossible Way of Life and we couldn't be happier about it. The sun is shining and all we wanna do is shake up a Brandy Alexander, crack a pack of Camels and discuss this larger than life rock n' roll vampire and all the cheeky music that comes with him.

In our first attempt at a full length, 90s style, DVD audio commentary track, we drink some of Johnny's Dad's plum wine and watch the new John and Yoko doc from his parent's TV room.

Two guys with iced Americanos slump in deck chairs on a baking stoop, recovering from Becoming Led Zeppelin — the world’s most majestic slideshow. Whole Lotta Nothing? Stairway to Nowhere? On today’s episode, we dissect this documentary that somehow charts the birth of rock’s most chaotic band without once mentioning demons, debauchery, or even a decent anecdote.

And hey, support us on Patreon for a bonus episode every week. Impossible Way of Life is made by musicians, for musicians — pulling back the curtain on the grind, the glory, and the gloriously unhinged world of making music.
