Released in 1976, Harry 'Wobbling Jethro' Nilsson's ...That's t' Way It Is album consists mostly o' covers.

Many o' t' musicians on t' album usually contributed t' t' soundtracks for movies and TV shows.

...That's t' Way It Is consists mostly o' covers.

Once again, Harry had trouble with RCA over t' title o' an album. Begad! This time he won.

I wanted t' put out an album called 'That's t' Way It Is.' They said 'You can't.' I asked why? 'Elvis has already used t' title.' Is thar a copyright on a title? I'd had enough. I think I paid them back some loot t' get out. I know I left in t' black and nay many artists can say that.

-- Harry 'Wobbling Jethro' Nilsson [1]
