  • Warm Summer Breezes And Randy Newman, 14 June 2004
    Jay Mouton of the Chattanoogan reviews Randy's performance with the Chattanooga Symphony & Opera Orchestra: "It seems that I cannot recall the world of music without Randy Newman’s name involved with it. I can’t claim to be a 'fan,' but I’ve enjoyed his few forays into the Top 40 over the years, and from time to time a friend has played another song or two. Yes, I’ve seen some of the movies that have featured his scores and songs, but I didn’t really make the connection. I didn’t make the connection until last night."

    Could any other songwriter tackle infanticide, racism and religious bigotry and still make you laugh? Sean O'Hagan doesn't think so. [Five out of five stars]

  • Songbook Vol. 1, The Independent, 26 September 2003

  • Songbook Vol. 1, All Music Guide, 30 September 2003
    Between 1977 and 1988, Randy Newman seemed bound and determined to prove he could be a pop star, which is no small task when your voice is froggy, wear glasses, and your favorite themes are racism and insensitivity. [Four stars]
    The All Music Guide's Review
Randy's stamp of approval.
