Brief album summaries: Randy Newman (1968) Randy Newman's debut album is a bit bleak and boring, but I'll be capsized before I'll ever say that Randy Newman isn't the most sincere person I've heard since that old woman at the supermarket tried to get me to taste-test upscale bologna with liver cheese and peppercorns. Overall Album Score: 8.7 out of 10 Average Song Score: 8.6 Album Tilt: 8.5 Artist Tilt: 9.0 Link to the full review: Randy Nnnnnewman 12 Songs (1970) More of the same from Randy Newman.
