"...That's the Way It Is" is an album by Harry Nilsson.

The album includes a couple of original songs, but mostly covers of songs. Some of the covers include: America ("I Need You" is from their 1971 album "America"), George Harrison ("That Is All" is from his 1973 album "Living in the Material World", Randy Newman ("Sail Away" is from his 1972 album "Sail Away"), The Heartbeats' "A Thousand Miles Away," "Zombie Jamboree" (which was previously recorded by Lord Intruder, Kingston Trio, Harry Belafonte, and many others), and more.

Track listing

#"That Is All" (George Harrison) – 3:02
#"Just One Look" (Gregory Carroll, Doris Payne) / "Baby I'm Yours" (Van McCoy) – 3:17
#"Moonshine Bandit" (Nilsson, Danny Kortchmar) – 3:26
#"I Need You" (Gerry Beckley) – 3:14
#"A Thousand Miles Away" (James Sheppard, William Miller) – 2:50
#"Sail Away" (Randy Newman) – 3:40
#"She Sits Down on Me" (Austin Talbot) – 3:55
#"Daylight Has Caught Me" (Nilsson, Malcolm Rebennack) – 3:47
#"Zombie Jamboree (Back to Back)" (Conrad E. Mauge, Jr.) – 3:02
#"That Is All (reprise)" (George Harrison) – 1:32

Track 2, "Just One Look/Baby I'm Yours" was a duet with Lynda Laurence, former Supreme and then current wife to album producer, Trevor Lawrence.

This album maybe symbolices the last effort of what Harry started back in 1973, when he moved to LA. Released in 1976, most of the songs were actually recorded during the 'Sandman' sessions in late 1975. The sound of both albums were pretty much the same, and it can also be said that 'Du it on monday' has a similarity as well; the same musicians assited Nilsson to make the albums, and the hard-core of the list included: Jesse Ed Davis and Danny Kootch on guitars, Ringo Starr on spirit, Jim Keltner on drums, Kessel on piano, Al Kooper on percussions, Klaus Voormann on bass, among others.
