Free Music Notes for Harps & Angels
Free Music Review: Better than Ever!
Hit: 5 Stars
Randy Newman is at his best here. When sweet, his songs will tear your heart out. When sarcastic and political, his tongue at its acid best. When honest -- brutally funny and pulling no punches. I really love this set of pieces. This is melodic and beautifully crafted thinking man's music. How he continues to write this way, so consistently excellent never ceases to astound me. This is a must buy, because you will want to listen over and over and over again. There's much more here than meets the eye at first go-see.Free Music Review: just great
Hit: 5 Stars
I saw RN last year solo & it was great & he did a few cuts off what would be H & A. This is a solid effort better that Bad Love from 1999...Froom's production is much better on this recording. The title track is an instant classic. Newman's pop recordings have been few & far between the last 20 years but always worth the wait. Not a week offering here & nice in a short LP length recording (less IS more-NO FILLER)...equally as good as Brian Wilson's most recnt offering (if not better)& Lindsey Buckingham's.Free Music Review: LISTEN TO MY MOTHER!
Hit: 5 Stars
My mother claims she would marry Randy Newman. When this album came out she phoned me every day, haranguing me until I PROMISED I would buy it. He is inventive. He is original. Yes, as my mother says, he is completely honest.
I asked my mother if she could go back and time and not marry my father and marry Randy Newman instead (in which case I would never have been born) would she do it. Sadly, she couldn't answer me right away. That's how good this album is.
Free Music Review: Another Newman Gem

I'm not quite following some of the more tepid reviews of Randy Newman's album, "Harps and Angels". I've been a fan since 1979's "Born Again", and this album fits in well with all of his previous classics. Only a very few can write with the compelling wit and sarcasm that Newman accomplishes. The best tracks on the album are "Harps and Angels", "Losing You", "A Piece of the Pie" and "Feels Like Home". Get it - it's great.Free Music Review: It's Randy Newman

And you take that for what its worth. If you love Rand (and I do), then this is a great purchase, falling in with maybe his less celebrated stuff, but absolutely the next logical step. As always, the music is gifted and complex, while the lyrics have the satire and bite that you've come to expect.
And hey, after a decade, any Randy Newman is good Randy Newman...
