 | Harps & Angels [Read More ...]
Description: Randy Newman's first studio album of all new material in nearly a decade is, by turns, hilarious, poignant and scathingly satirical. Harps and Angels often has an easy going Crescent City feel, with Newman on piano fronting a small combo and revealing, as Rolling Stone put it aft... |

 | The Randy Newman Songbook, Vol. 1 [Read More ...]
Description: Although he's now best known as the curly haired Prince of Pixar (he's written hit songs for a number of animated blockbusters, including Toy Story 2 and A Bug's Life, Randy Newman began his career as a misanthropic satirist and thwarted romantic. It’s this version of Newman wh... |
 | 12 Songs [Read More ...]
Description: With 1970's 12 Songs, Randy Newman eschewed the string-driven expanse of its self-titled predecessor for unorchestrated solo and rock quartet arrangements (Ry Cooder, Clarence White of the Byrds, and Jim Gordon of Derek and the Dominos are among the sidemen). If anything, the lyr... |
 | Guilty: 30 Years of Randy Newman [Read More ...]
Description: Randy Newman's three-decades-plus career proves at least one thing: an articulate, bespectacled fellow seated at a piano--a Southern Californian, no less!--can be damn dangerous. In a civil sort of way. This four-disc overview of Newman's fitful but ultimately brilliant career o... |
 | Little Criminals [Read More ...]
Description: Little Criminals proved to be Randy Newman's commercial breakthrough, thanks in large part to an unlikely top 10 novelty hit. "Short People" may be responsible for positing Newman in the public consciousness as a kind of highbrow Ray Stevens-type wag. On the bright side, it sneak... |
 | Land of Dreams [Read More ...]
Description: During the 1970s, singer/songwriter Randy Newman distinguished himself by dodging the prevailing confessional trend that was de rigueur for his peers, preferring to build his songs around richly detailed, often grotesque characters, and taking his story lines from anyone's his... |

 | Trouble in Paradise [Read More ...]
Description: He's written some of the thorniest, darkest vignettes ever tucked into the verses and chorus of a pop song, but Randy Newman's greatest commercial successes have come with his most ephemeral material. "Short People" was a throwaway, albeit a terrific one, but it catapulted hi... |
 | Good Old Boys [Read More ...]
Review: This Is a Return to His Worst...:I only got this Album because it was tossed in free with "Angels & Harps" and please read my review there, as I did not like that either. Now, I LOVE Randy Newman but only since he came out of his earlier suck awful Primitive Blues Period with "Li... |
 | Bad Love [Read More ...]
Description: More than a decade passed between song collections from Randy Newman, a drought that's finally ended with Bad Love, an album the self-critical songsmith ranks with his best. Age certainly hasn't mellowed the satirical composer, who targets Western imperialists, shameful lechers, ... |
 | Randy Newman Creates Something New Under the Sun [Read More ...]
Description: Randy Newman (a back-cover subhead brags, our champ "Creates Something New Under the Sun," which, for once, isn't an idle boast) was near impossible to find shortly after it first came out, though it was a critical pet. The Southern California songsmith went on to score a few les... |
 | Born Again [Read More ...]
Review: a brilliant, if underrated, work:Yes, I'm a Randy Newman fan. I had all of Randy Newman's studio vinyl between Sail Away and Land of Dreams. But this was the first CD of his I bought.
Okay, the synthesizers indicate when this album was recorded. But c'mon, folks -- get over i... |
 | Randy Newman Live [Read More ...]
Description: After two vastly contrasting LPs, Reprise filled the gap between Randy Newman's studio stays with this 1970 solo concert recording from the Bitter End in New York. Constructed around five songs from the eponymous first album and four from the second LP (12 Songs), it's rounded ou... |
 | Little Criminals [Read More ...]
Description: Little Criminals proved to be Randy Newman's commercial breakthrough, thanks in large part to an unlikely top 10 novelty hit. "Short People" may be responsible for positing Newman in the public consciousness as a kind of highbrow Ray Stevens-type wag. On the bright side, it sneak... |
 | Sail Away [Read More ...]
Description: Odd man out in California's early '70s panoply of singer-songwriters, Randy Newman didn't play guitar, refused to confess specific personal dreams and sins, and sidestepped the counter-cultural trinity of sex, rebellion, and self. Newman dared to be a neo-classical pop survivor, ... |
 | Randy Newman's Faust (1993 Concept Cast) [Read More ...]
Description: With his career built on twin pillars of concise narrative songwriting for his own albums and evocative orchestral composition for his film scores, Randy Newman is eminently qualified to resuscitate musical theater. And while the initial stage production of his reworking of G... |
