![]() Land of Dreams $9.98 This album is a true masterpiece. And I mean no disrespect to Sail Away. What can I say - Randy Newman has created multiple masterpieces. :-) My only reservation is that Four Eyes seems a little off-peak. Ah well, everyone's a critic... ![]() The Best of Randy Newman $11.98 Didn't know much about Randy Newman coming in..got this CD for one song in particular. But as I spent time listening to the entire compilation, I learned to apprectiate Mr Newman's unique style and flavor. In the booklet that comes with the CD, Randy Newman gives us short thoughts on each song contained in this collection. Though short, I got a nice glimpse into this musician's thought process. The booklet also contains some useful info on each song as well as a handful of photos of Randy Newman himself. I know all this stuff could be found on the internet, but still nice to have it included nonetheless. Mr Newman is a soulful storyteller who expresses himself through song. His work is here for you to enjoy. So enjoy it. ![]() Guilty: 30 Years of Randy Newman $59.98 Without question Randy Newman's seminal work "Guilty: 30 Years of Randy Newman" is a "must have" for anyone who appreciates his music, and especially someone who likes to understand the lyrics to a well written tune. I was pleased with the way Randy organized the tunes and his comments showcase his unique sense of humor. Anyone who writes a song about turning Australia into an amusement park for Americans will always receive my full respect and attention. Dave Gubanc |
