Harps & Angels

Nonesuch, 2008, Audio CD

Product Description

Randy Newman's first studio album of all new material in nearly a decade is, by turns, hilarious, poignant and scathingly satirical. Harps and Angels often has an easy going Crescent City feel, with Newman on piano fronting a small combo and revealing, as Rolling Stone put it after the Carnegie Hall show, his serious love and study of the New Orleans piano tradition.

Customer Reviews

A new fan!: At 50 years of age this is my first Newman album. Great melodies, lyrics and singing. All beautifully arranged and performed. Very funny,very sad,sometimes both at the same time. Can someone recommend some more of his recordings? More reviews

It Just Couldn't Last: Now, I LOVE Randy Newman, but it has happened before, some of his older albums were simply generic blues... sounds all the same, and none of it very interesting.
But, going back twenty years or so, with the "Born Again" Album, "Trouble in Paradise", "Little Criminals", and especially "Land of Dreams" we were given really very good MUSIC.… More reviews

Not enough: Same old Randy at his critical best. I wish it would have been longer.… More reviews

Harps and Angels: Someone finally told me the name of the singer I've heard in movies etc. I love his voice, and his style. This is a great album. More reviews

Yeah, it's good, but...: This is less than 35 minutes long!!! I'm sick and tired of waiting for material only to be given a tapas sized portion, at an entree price.… More reviews
