Album Review

Once again, Randy Newman turns out to be a good choice for scoring a period picture, this time with a more overtly sentimental, romantic theme than Ragtime. He shows a mastery of structure and genre that marks him as the successor to his uncles, who spent decades writing film music.

Customer Reviews

Great stuff, but...

...let's not lose our heads about this score's originality. I think Randy himself would acknowledge the obvious nods to Aaron Copland throughout this piece. Listen to 'Appalachian Spring' and 'Rodeo' to make a difinitive analysis of the source of 'inspiration' for numerous "Americana' musical moments. That being said - I truly cherish this movie and particularly the effective score that is such an integral part of the experience.

Randy Newman: Genius

Can't think of a movie anthem more plagerized. It's in commercials, sports shows, awards shows, and even in other movies! No better sports soundtrack. "Rudy" comes close. Probably in the top three movie soundtracks of all time. IMHO. He's been a machine that produces a great soundtrack every 2-3 years,and he's not finished, Check out "Cars". On a personal note: Want to forget your troubles? Listen to this album on any quiet park bench. 15 minutes: poof!

good

this album is great. the music is inspiring. it really gets you at times

Randy Newman was an anomaly among early-'70s singer/songwriters. Though he was slightly influenced by Bob Dylan, his music owed more to New Orleans R&B and traditional pop than folk. Newman developed an idiosyncratic style that alternated between sweeping, cinematic pop and rolling R&B, which were tied together by his nasty sense of humor. Where his peers concentrated on confessional songwriting, Newman drew characters, creating a world filled with misfits, outcasts, charlatans, and con men....
