Editorial Reviews:

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.

Album Description
Randy Newman's 2008 studio album titled Harps and Angels. Produced by Mitchell Froom and Lenny Waronker, it contains seven new songs and three updated versions of previously released songs.

5 out of 5 stars I love Randy.   January 6, 2009
Dena L. Smith (Hobunk Ohio USA)
His humor and wit cannot be matched. I enjoy listening to this at work...puts a smile on my face.


5 out of 5 stars Five stars for "Feels Like Home"   December 19, 2008

This is a one-song album for me. "Feels Like Home" is one of the most touching and beautiful ballads ever written; the rest of the stuff is hardly listenable.

Newman insists on putting politics into his music, of all the things in the world, but he is no Tom Lehrer, not by light years.



5 out of 5 stars A new fan!   November 29, 2008
Mr. K. Frost (LIMERICK IRELAND)
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?


4 out of 5 stars Not enough   November 14, 2008
J. Skinner (Kansas City, MO)


Same old Randy at his critical best. I wish it would have been longer.
