  Seven Songs for the Week #82 - 30th Oct 24

  Jason Carty

  Following on from listening to Born Again last week, I had Sail Away in the car this week and it really is the best Randy Newman record. There's something to enjoy in everything he puts out, but on Sail Away there's a good balance between the tin-pan-alley Randy and the something-to-say Randy. With relation to the latter there is still a seething behind what he is saying, whereas on later records his satire can tilt into being overly arch.
