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 ...

Mandy Patinkin

by
Mandy Patinkin
Patinkin has reserves of emotion that seem boundless on this tour de force collection mainly given over to show songs. Employing a vocal range that begins in a clear high tenor and plunges to a gruff baritone, Patinkin is able to act and sing duets with himself or sing beautifully alone. But feeling -- sometimes overflowing feeling -- is the core ...

Good Old Boys [Expanded]

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 ...

by
Judy Collins
After scoring an unexpected chart hit with her rendition of Stephen Sondheim's "Send in the Clowns" and the accompanying Judith album in 1975, Judy Collins seemed to lose career and musical momentum on her follow-up, Bread and Roses. Hard Times for Lovers was an attempt to recapture the momentum of the Judith album and also to update her image. ...

Lonely at the Top: The Best of Randy Newman
(1998)

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 ...

Baby Plays Around

more music like this
by
Curtis Stigers
Those who think of singer/saxman Curtis Stigers as a pop/rock artist and associate him with "I Wonder Why" and "Peace, Love and Understanding" will be surprised to learn that Baby Plays Around is very much a jazz album -- not jazzy pop, but straight-ahead acoustic jazz. Not that there is any reason why someone with pop/rock credentials can't ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Glen Campbell
There is no definitive Glen Campbell compilation, but this 130-minute, two-disc set from England comes very close to it, and also forms a perfect compliment to Razor & Tie's Glen Campbell Collection: 1962-1989 (which it overlaps amazingly little). With 46 songs, selected from various singles, starting with Campbell's first pop/rock hit "Universal ...

Sail Away: The Songs of Randy Newman
(2006)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
Hailed by critics, loved and revered by songwriters and musicians, Randy Newman still polarizes the public. Maybe it's the voice, maybe it's the heavy irony (maybe it's "Short People"), but folks seem to either love him or hate him. Perhaps that's why Sugar Hill Records felt the need to dip into its pool of top-notch roots artists and put together ...

James Naughton
James Naughton's debut album was originally going to be called "Any Place I Hang My Hat," but the title was changed at the last minute to It's About Time. The new name is appropriate not only because the 57-year-old actor has been burnishing his reputation as a singer since he first starred in a Broadway musical when he was 32, but also because he ...
