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.

 Social Commentary October 14, 2008
Randy Newman is the most astute songwriter and thinker when it comes to social commentary. Not everyone "gets" him, but I crave his voice and his original songs. I have listened to this amazing album over and over, especially the song "A Few Words in Defense of Our Country." Truly, he has "heard America singing."
A great album October 12, 2008
The state of the union and our culture from one of our more acerbic commentators. Newman's tone of comic bemusement and aloof disgust has never been put to better use. May be the best record of his career.
we love it October 6, 2008
I think this is one of the best cd's i've heard in a long time-from ironic to just plain beautiful lyrics- this cd has it all
Bravo
Better than Ever! September 25, 2008
Randy Newman is at his best here. When sweet, his songs will tear your heart out. When sarcastic and political, his tongue at its acid best. When honest -- brutally funny and pulling no punches. I really love this set of pieces. This is melodic and beautifully crafted thinking man's music. How he continues to write this way, so consistently excellent never ceases to astound me. This is a must buy, because you will want to listen over and over and over again. There's much more here than meets the eye at first go-see.
just great September 23, 2008
I saw RN last year solo & it was great & he did a few cuts off what would be H & A. This is a solid effort better that Bad Love from 1999...Froom's production is much better on this recording. The title track is an instant classic. Newman's pop recordings have been few & far between the last 20 years but always worth the wait. Not a week offering here & nice in a short LP length recording (less IS more-NO FILLER)...equally as good as Brian Wilson's most recnt offering (if not better)& Lindsey Buckingham's.
