Randy Newman is more well-known today for his plethora of film soundtracks than his album recording career, which was underway with this self-titled 1968 debut. But, after listening to this album, its incredibly easy to see why he eventually began writing music for movies: He likes to write music thats very cinematic in nature. Instead of the usual 12-bar stuff or weirdo psychedelia that everyone else was recording at the time, Newman seemed to prefer writing music thats more rambly in nature with extra emphasis on complex, full orchestral arrangements.

Naturally, Newmans famous as a piano player, and we get to hear some of that, also. Theres also a little bit of guitar and drums. But the emphasis here is on the cinematic arrangements, which are very impressive indeed! Interestingly, he would abandon this style to produce more traditional singer-songwriter stuff in later albums. With that, comes a problem. Not all of these songs are catchy in the way that most audiences would respond to. Nonetheless, this album is incredibly melodic, and its still filled to the brim with his famous brand of lyrics, which range can be witty, morose, bittersweet and/or sweet. As far as singer-songwriters go, it doesnt get a whole lot better than Randy Newman.

He also comes off as so likable that youll probably want him to join your family by the time the albums through. Sure, he gets depressed at times, but at least hes nice about it. Hes not going to throw beer bottles at the wall. The album opens with the incredibly sweet Love Story, which is about a young man in love. The first lyrics are I like your brother / I like your mother / I like you and you like me too. The song begins with a light, simple piano before the fanciful string arrangements come in. The chorus brings in exciting, trembling violins with a heavy snare drum, which comes off as very cool. It must also be mentioned that these arrangements arent just there to fill up space; they actually fit and accent the whirlwind of moods presented in the lyrics.

The Randy Newman that composed those sweet Pixar ditties will immediately recognize his style in Bet No One Ever Hurt This Bad. The lyrics are about a depressed guy, but the light guitar-and-piano led are oddly upbeat. Yes, he can make those sad times seem oddly bright! So Long Dad marks a return to the complex dramatic string arrangements, which do wonders to accent those utterly heartwarming lyrics. Linda is so beautiful and cinematic that I had to make sure that it wasnt, in fact, a part of a montage in a movie! At any rate, it should have been; it probably would have been a highlight of a film. Also featuring the heavy orchestral sections is Laughing Boy and Davy the Fat Boy, and both songs arent so dramatic as they are richly comic.

Probably the most famous song in this album is I Think Its Going to Rain Today, which has been covered by a variety of artists including a surprisingly nice version by Bette Midler for the Beaches soundtrack. But I find it to be a bit too bleak and low-key quality, which for me, isnt trumped by the thoughtful lyrics. I also have the same problem with Cowboy. While its terribly sentimental, I cant fight the feeling that its rather dull. Then again, its impossible to get too bored with considering theyre three-minutes long. In fact, none of these songs are longer than three-and-a-half minutes.

Well, Randy Newman is awesome. What else can be said? If you didnt know that before, then you know it now. You seriously ought to listen to his albums! His albums arent usually this heavily orchestrated, but these are terribly good orchestrations. If you want something more traditional, then I would listen to some of his other albums like Sail Away, but everyone eventually must hear this brilliant debut album!
