The Randy Newman Q&A (Part One) The promotional material for "Bad Love" trumpets the fact that this is your first new album in more than a decade, conveniently ignoring "Faust" (Newman's 1995 all-star musical, featuring Newman as the Devil and James Taylor as God), which I've always considered a Randy Newman album. We sat down recently to talk about his new album, "Bad Love". TORONTO -- Sitting down to interview someone as accomplished as Randy Newman can be an immensely intimidating prospect. www.jamshowbiz.com /JamMusicArtistsN/newman_randy_qanda.html

Review: Randy Newman's 'Bad Love' Randy Newman reminds us there's bad love everywhere.

Newman's Own Newman’s most recent album — not counting Rhino Records’ just released The Best of Randy Newman and the soundtrack to Meet the Parents— is the excellent Bad Love (1999), a vinegar-soaked look at the travails of aging. But the strongest songs on the album, arguably, were the ones where Newman dug deeper into his own life. Randy Newman performs with the Mann Festival Orchestra, Fri., Sept. 28 at the Mann Music Center, 52nd St. and Parkside Ave., 215-893-1999. citypaper.net /articles/092701/mus.newman.shtml   (836 words)

Bad Love - Randy Newman Since Randy Newman is certainly my musical hero of the moment, I felt it would be worth trying to promote his new album, Bad Love. I just hope that I can encourage at least one person to purchase it since it's his first song album in 11 years and just shows that Randy Newman is as sharp, witty and musically talented as ever. The probably with Randy Newman is that his songs just don't appeal to the kind of people who like Steps, The Spice Girls, Ricky Martin or whoever the band du jour is at the moment. www.soundtrack-express.com /osts/badlove.htm   (923 words)

Amazon.com: Music: A Ghost Is Born [ENHANCED] Frontman Jeff Tweedy's songwriting continues to evolve: "Hummingbird" is a dreamy Randy Newman -styled love song; "The Late Greats" is a sly ode to the world of pop tacked onto the end of the album (as if using such a fun song on this understated disc was an afterthought). Wilco's drone (more of a whine actually), while somewhat more complex than your average drone, made my dog (who is, for a dog, surprisingly receptive to the avant garde) howl, which is a bad sign. But then again, if you make it through the drone you get to what is, in my mind, the strongest song on the album. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00020P7TM?v=glance   (149 words)

All you really need to record a good Randy Newman album is piano and voice upfront and a little extra room in the back for some lush accompanying strings. Going back to yesterday, both musically and lyrically, is how Newman made his name, is how he pays for the Lexus he sings about, or the fancy schools where he sends his kids. www.leisuresuit.net /Webzine/articles/randy_newman.shtml   (149 words)

NewStandard: 6/29/99 For his new CD "Bad Love" (DreamWorks), it was easier to write autobiographical songs because there were more topics that intrigued him. Eleven years ago, Newman wrote three or four autobiographical songs for his "Land of Dreams" album, just to see if he could do it. The narrator of a Randy Newman song usually isn't Randy Newman. www.s-t.com /daily/06-99/06-29-99/b03ae104.htm   (649 words)

Wilco's drone (more of a whine actually), while somewhat more complex than your average drone, made my dog (who is, for a dog, surprisingly receptive to the avant garde) howl, which is a bad sign. That album's Jesus, Etc. marked Wilco as experts in the non-sappy use of strings, and this album's Hummingbird takes them even further in that direction, incorporating heavy doses of guitars, violins, and piano for a chamber-pop sound that never spills over into Belle and Sebastian-style wussiness. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00020P7TM?v=glance   (2041 words)
