  • The Randy Newman Songbook, Vol. 2 by Allen Morrison June 21St, 2011 at 1:31 Pm
    Randy Newman: The Randy Newman Songbook, Vol. 2 By Allen Morrison June 21st, 2011 at 1:31 pm Randy Newman The Randy Newman Songbook, Vol. 2 (Nonesuch) Rating: Randy Newman was talking about the relationship between his film music, for which he has won two Oscars and 18 nominations, and his songwriting. “My father, who was not a musician, worshiped his brothers who did (film scoring),” he recalled in a recent NPR interview. “He thought it was the great art form of the century. He kept asking me, no matter what kind of acclaim I got early on for my songs and records, „When are you gonna do a picture?‟ It was like that was the pinnacle of music.” Newman had the unique advantage of growing up on Hollywood sound stages where his celebrated uncles – Alfred, Lionel and Emil – wrote and/or conducted the scores to dozens of films. He could have easily gone into the family business. But at first he resisted, preferring to become a professional songwriter at the age of 17, then an unlikely singer/songwriter. Lucky for us. You can hardly make a better case that songs can be the equal of any art form than the classics on display in The Randy Newman Songbook Vol. 2. The album is essential listening for those who care about American music (not just the popular variety). For younger listeners who might as yet be unfamiliar with his pre-Toy Story repertoire, these tracks might be a revelation. In the late 1960s world of confessional, mostly guitar-strumming singer-songwriters, Newman always stood apart: for his symphonic vision, backed up with superb arranging chops, as well as for the literary ambitions of his lyrics, mostly written from the point of view of unreliable narrators, sometimes tragic, more often ironic and mordantly funny.

  • A Life in Song After Six Decades in the Industry, Randy Newman Still Finds No Shortage of Inspiration for His Music
    A life in song After six decades in the industry, Randy Newman still finds no shortage of inspiration for his music. By Iain Shedden 29 July 2017 Randy Newman: ‘I’m the opposite of a workaholic.’ Picture: Pamela Springsteen Randy Newman takes his humour seriously. “Sometimes I’ll write a song and the last joke is in the middle of it,” says the 73-year-old singer and composer. “That’s not right.” Certainly there’s an abundance of humour — much of it satirical — on his latest work, the album Dark Matter, his first studio release since 2008’s Harps and Angels, which is released next Friday. “It’s a funny thing,” he says with no hint of irony, “how much comedy I do. I’ve been thinking about that. When I was young the family would sit and watch comedy on television. My father liked it and my mother liked it and I liked it too. There’s nobody, apart from ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic, who has more comedy in their stuff than I do. I don’t know if the medium is good for it, but I like it, so I do it.” It’s hard not to smile at the lyrical thrust of Putin, for example, a song from Dark Matter he released just before the US presidential election last year, which, with Newman’s tongue firmly in cheek, extols the virtues of the Russian leader, shirtless and otherwise. 2 “He can drive his giant tractor / across the Trans-Siberian plain / he can power a nuclear reactor / with the left side of his brain / and when he takes his shirt off / he drives the ladies crazy / when he takes his shirt off / makes me wanna be a lady.” On the song Sonny Boy, bluesman Sonny Boy Williamson bemoans, from heaven, his place being taken at a concert by an impersonator.
