Free Music Notes for Harps & AngelsFree Music Review: Instant Classic Hit: 5 Stars
This poignant, clever, brilliant album by a master of irony resonates with truth and beauty. Newman has always been one of my favorite artists (even though I'm not as big a fan of his film scores as his solo work) and this album ranks with his best. Welcome back, Randy. Long may you play. (To everyone: buy this--keep this artist in business.)
Free Music Review: An Old Master Hit: 5 Stars
Harps and Angels truly shares with much great art exasperation and despair at certain political realities and an essential joy in being alive--especially, perhaps, from the perspective of a long life of artistic accomplishment. Exhilarating and musically sophisticated, this album bears repeated listening. Great fun, too.
Free Music Review: Social Commentary Hit: 5 Stars
Randy Newman is the most astute songwriter and thinker when it comes to social commentary. Not everyone "gets" him, but I crave his voice and his original songs. I have listened to this amazing album over and over, especially the song "A Few Words in Defense of Our Country." Truly, he has "heard America singing."
Free Music Review: Prowling his constituency again Hit: 5 Stars
Randy's back...prowling his constituency again with laser wit, astringency and poignancy ; capturing the present landscape with magic two or three minute vignettes of musical and lyrical clarity, sophistication and depth....he's a National Treasure!!!
Free Music Review: More Great Songs Hit: 5 Stars
I realize upon rediscovering Randy Newman (listening to "A Few Words in Defense of Our Country" on Acoustic Cafe), that I really enjoy his music. The songs are catchy and stick in your ear and the lyrics are simultaneously wonderful and shocking.
