The Best of Randy Newman

The Best of Randy Newman (2001) more music like this

by Randy Newman

Randy Newman has been beloved of critics, record geeks, and music fans for years, so much so that Rhino's 2001 compilation The Best of Randy Newman may seem like a case of preaching to the converted, at least to those who worship Newman. After all, anybody who's been paying attention realizes his sly genius, not just as a songwriter, but as a ...

The Very Best of Aaron Neville

The Very Best of Aaron Neville (2000) more music like this

by Aaron Neville

In some ways, The Very Best of Aaron Neville is a very welcome addition to his catalog, since it's the first collection to touch on all areas of Neville's long career. However, it winds up being a bit unsatisfying, not just because it only has one cut from the Neville Brothers, but because his New Orleans R&B and down-home soul just don't fit that ...

Good Old Boys [Expanded]

Good Old Boys [Expanded] (2002) more music like this

by Randy Newman

The crown jewel in the first wave of Rhino's extensive Randy Newman reissue series is Good Old Boys -- which perhaps is appropriate, since it's arguably Newman's finest album. Then again, perhaps its status as the outstanding release in this wave was inevitable since unlike Sail Away -- an equally brilliant record -- Good Old Boys does have a full ...

Warm Your Heart

Warm Your Heart (1991) more music like this

by Aaron Neville

When Aaron Neville signed with A&M in the early '90s, optimists were hoping for some five-star soul gems along the lines of his classic '60s recordings. Instead, his first A&M date, Warm Your Heart, found the veteran New Orleans singer taking a much more pop-minded approach, with generally decent results. While Neville didn't abandon soul music, ...

Lonely at the Top: The Best of Randy Newman

Lonely at the Top: The Best of Randy Newman (1998) more music like this

by Randy Newman

From a chart standpoint, Randy Newman's only Top 40 hit came in the form of 1977's "Short People, which reached the number two spot, backed by the Eagles' Timothy B. Schmit, J.D. Souther, and Glenn Frey. Actually, it's the music of Newman's career that didn't chart that made him one of the most renowned songwriters of the modern era. Lonely at the ...

Guilty: 30 Years of Randy Newman

Guilty: 30 Years of Randy Newman (1998) more music like this

by Randy Newman

Throughout his entire career, Randy Newman was at the fringes of popular music. He peeked through the curtains every so often, whether it was in the form of a film composer or a novelty hitmaker, but he always remained a cult act, albeit one with enormous influence and respect. He had enough fans (particularly those in the industry) to keep a ...

Let Me Play with Your Poodle

Let Me Play with Your Poodle (1997) more music like this

by Marcia Ball

This album of snaky swamp rock is one of Ball's best recordings. Great choice of songs (she wrote 5 of the 13) that let her show all her talents, both vocally and instrumentally. Slow-tempo songs display the force of her voice, as in "I Still Love You," and another of the many gems, "For the Love of a Man." Meanwhile, the playfulness of the title ...

The Randy Newman Songbook, Vol. 1

The Randy Newman Songbook, Vol. 1 (2003) more music like this

by Randy Newman

Between 1977 and 1988, Randy Newman seemed bound and determined to prove he could be a pop star, which is no small task when your voice is froggy, wear glasses, and your favorite themes are racism and insensitivity. While Newman managed to make some very good albums during that span of time -- most notably 1983's Trouble in Paradise -- his desire ...

Live! Down the Road

Live! Down the Road (2005) more music like this

by Marcia Ball

Marcia Ball, born on the Texas/Louisiana border, has long been a superb live performer, delivering her swampy blend of zydeco, blues and gritty R&B with all the force of a Saturday night locomotive, and her many fans have been crying for a live album for years, and now, finally, she's delivered it. Recorded in September 2004 at the Sierra Nevada ...

Good Old Boys [Bonus Track] (2003) more music like this

by Randy Newman

Randy Newman's songwriting often walks a narrow line between intelligent satire and willful cruelty, and that line was never finer than on the album Good Old Boys. Newman had long displayed a fascination with the American South, and Good Old Boys was a song cycle where he gave free reign to his most imaginative (and venomous) thoughts on the ...

Come on Joe (1987) more music like this

by Jo-El Sonnier

Sonnier's French-Cajun accent brings new life to songs by Randy Newman, Richard Thompson, Moon Martin, and Dave Alvin. Steve Winwood takes an organ solo on a cover of Slim Harpo's "Raining in My Heart." Cajun-tinged contemporary country with a rock edge and intelligent songs, it is the best of Sonnier's Nashville work. Brian Mansfield & Mark A. ...

Across the Parish Line (2006) more music like this

by Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience

Across the Parish Line, the seventh album by Terrance Simien with his band the Zydeco Experience (formerly the Mallet Boys), is not a compilation, technically speaking, but certain tracks do look back across Simien's two decades of playing. His approach to zydeco has been anything but purist, and he has welcomed both other musical styles and a ...

Run (2005) more music like this

by Old School Freight Train

When a veteran like mandolinist/producer/label owner David Grisman states that new bands rarely catch and keep his attention and Old School Freight Train has succeeded in winning him over for the long haul, that is critical praise that only a foolish writer would challenge. The quintet's unique style of bluegrass has a variety of contemporary ...

Here's one of those compilations that feature unreleased live performances by some of your favorites, but not all of them. And the question is, do you buy the disc for those one or two essential tracks or bypass the whole deal because you don't want to have to get up and skip some of the tracks you know you'll end up hating? Well, if you like one ...

On the Road: Fall 2005 (2006) more music like this

by String Cheese Incident

String Cheese Incident's Fall 2005 tour is documented here on three discs by Larry Fox. It seems to be higher energy than the shows from the summer of 2005, which included tons of guest performances. There are guests here, too, but the integration of them feels easier and breezier. Disc one is just the band tearing it up on "MLT," "Footprints," ...
