Randy Newman

by Randy Newman

The 1858th greatest album of all time

Randy Newman is the artist's self titled debut album, a piano centered singer songwriter record that pairs melancholic ballads and wry, character driven lyrics with lush orchestral pop arrangements. It introduces Newman’s blend of Americana and Tin Pan Alley melodic sensibility alongside ironic, narrative songwriting and helped establish the satirical character pieces he would return to throughout his career.
