Nilsson Sings Nilsson
Celebrated 1970s singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson is due for a revival, and his 30-year-old son Kief Nilsson may be the one to make it happen. Lee Blackman, the attorney for Nilsson père’s estate (he died in 1993), tells Billboard that “Kief-o,” as he calls him, is recording an album of his dad’s more obscure tracks, including “All I Think About Is You,” “Rainmaker,” “Daybreak,” “Maybe,” “Kojak Columbo” and “The Flying Saucer Song.” “It’s a work in progress,” says Blackman, who adds that Kief is recording the LP with Cal Campbell, the son of singer-songwriter Glen Campbell. Fans of the elder Nilsson will be happy to hear that Kief has two working titles in mind for the record, both of which are nods to his father’s albums: Nilsson Sings Nilsson and Son of Son of Schmilsson.
