Randy Newman: Good Old Boys
Tom Nolan, Phonograph Record, November 1974
RANDY NEWMAN'S new record is all about the South, a concept album of sorts which stops short of operatic unity but which does exist in its loose-ended way as a satisfying whole. Good Old Boys shows us some Southerners' points-of-view through Newman's own prismatic gaze; the results, predictably interesting, are open to some misinterpretation.
