321 - Randy Newman - Sail Away

[csberry]

I'm really hoping this is the last Randy Newman album on the list. Are the songs good? Yes. Do I enjoy listening to them? Not really. If you want to listen to a Randy Newman album, Sail Away is probably the one I'd point you to. His songwriting and execution seem the most confident of the albums I've listened to. The songs are a bit more similar in style and attitude and all of the traits that I've come to expect from him are on display here.

Songs I knew I liked: "Burn On" and I was familiar with the Joe Cocker cover of "You Can Leave Your Hat On"

Songs I didn't know but now like: None

Songs I can go the rest of my life without hearing again: I won't feel that I've missed anything in life if I never heard this album again. Again, not that it's bad...I just don't enjoy Randy Newman. I've had my fill of him from the 3 or so previous albums I've heard over the past several months.
