 Rating:  - Randy rocks!Randy is one of my weirdo heroes (but so are Stephen Colbert, Paul Farmer, etc)... Very committed and heartfelt songs. Great performer. Watching him performing these songs live makes life such a treat (specially "Feels Like Home"). The world needs more contemporary artists like Mr. Newman. Rating: - IT's RANDY NEWMAN What's more to say:)))Lets get this straight...I AM A SHORT PERSON AND I LOVE "SHORT PEOPLE" of course I don't have grubby little fingers...but first time I heard this piece was eons ago when Scott Hamilton ice skated to it as one of his competitive programs pre-olympic days. Yes it's that old. He hit the ice in a long black trench coat but started out in a squatt down pose as super short. And eventually was skating standing tall.....Scott's not that tall himself and so another short person was totally delighted in Randy ... Read More Rating:  - Good selection of songsI heard Randy on a TV show recently and loved the song her performed. I thought I would love more of his music, but this CD really wasn't my cup of tea. Maybe other CDs would be better. Rating:  - Superb stuff from a truly underrated artistRandy Newman,in my opinion,is an underrated singer-songwriter-Other than his 1977 hit single "Short People" or "I Love LA",there are many people who aren't aware of how talented this man is-This single disc compilation includes the original version of "Mama Told Me Not To Come",which Three Dog Night took to # 1 in 1970-My favorite song on this collection is "Political Science"-The lyrics are just as relevant now as they were back in the 70's-This is a must have for your CD collection. Rating: - You can take your hat off (to Mr. Randy Newman)Here we have another 'best of' collection. This CD is The Best of tribute to one of America's most prolific songwriters, Randy Newman. If you're not familiar with him, then you should be, and this compilation is a fine way to get started. In fact, it is exactly how I myself was introduced to the man. It covers all of his most memorable items, some famous, some infamous, but without a doubt all good. As being a collection of some of the finest songs of Newman, this CD justly deserves 5 star status. Read More |
