Randy Newman's Solo Mastery
5 out of 5 stars
Vhigeviiih_McannApril 3, 2025United States🇺🇸
Randy Newman's astonishing recordings are a genuine American gem. Primarily a songwriter, it's a joy to hear Randy performing his life's work solo at a piano, with all his years of experience shining through—an absolute virtuoso revealing the magic behind his craft. With only his voice and piano, you can truly appreciate Randy's storytelling prowess without any distractions—just you and the artist. His talent for creating charming songs that revolve around humanity's awfulness and amusing contradictions is unmatched; and few can play the piano with as much finesse as Mr. Newman. As always with a mastering by Chris Bellman, these albums sound phenomenal. The piano resonates with life, and Randy's distinctive, wonderfully peculiar voice feels like it's singing just for you. No Randy Newman collection is truly complete without this vital retrospective; it might be challenging to find these days, but it's absolutely worth the effort!
