This is not so much my jam.
Randy Newman's schtick kind of gets stale pretty quickly and some of his lyrics are a bit questionable. The song 'Rednecks' he wrote as an attack on 'inverted liberal snobbery' because a segregationist governor was openly mocked and Newman drops the N-bomb fairly liberally. It's probably a good thing that he's sequestered away now, busy working on Disney soundtracks and the like.
He's a competent musician and composer... it's just that most of what he does on his albums sounds kind of samey and it doesn't really really do much for me.
