Editorial Reviews

Nonesuch releases the CD edition of The Randy Newman Songbook box set on December 9, 2016. Nonesuch's Randy Newman Songbook series—comprising solo recordings of songs from throughout Newman's five-decade career—previously included two volumes, released on CD in 2003 and 2011. Sixteen additional songs from a newly released third volume, along with five bonus tracks ("Feels Like Home," "A Wedding in Cherokee County," "Family Album: Homage to Alfred, Emil and Lionel Newman," "I'm Dreaming," and "Wandering Boy"), join those first two volumes to create this new complete Songbook box set. Mitchell Froom produced The Randy Newman Songbook, Vol. 1 and was joined on Vol. 2 and Vol. 3 by Newman's lifelong friend and colleague Lenny Waronker.The Randy Newman Songbook box set was released on vinyl in a limited edition 4-LP set earlier in 2016.

Randy Nails It By Himself

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

The first time I heard Randy Newman was in the 70's on Saturday Night Live, and I was hooked. This three-CD set is special. It's a wonderful compilation that creates a mood where it's just you and Randy and his piano. I've listened through my main system using large speakers, but also through headphones which creates a unique intimate relationship between you and the artist. The recordings couldn't sound better, and Randy gives his piano an equal voice. Highly recommended for Randy Newman fans who want to hear a different side.

Randy's great. Audio on side 5 not so much.

Here's the deal I love Randy Newman and everything on this entire set is beyond reproach. Why only 4 Stars? Because something is wrong with the mastering on Side 5. The audio levels are all out of whack and distorted. I returned this when I got it the first time thinking it might have been a pressing issue flaw. No such luck. Side 5 has the same issues on the replaced set. I'm keeping it but only because it's so good otherwise. I'll be writing the manufacturer as well to complain. Highly suggested otherwise.

Randy Newman revisite son répertoire en piano solo

Reviewed in France on January 7, 2021

Verified Purchase

Randy Newman est un immense auteur-compositeur-interprète depuis plusieurs décennies déjà et entre 2003 et 2010, il a enregistré 3 albums en piano solo dans lesquels il revisitait son oeuvre, reprenant des titres de toute sa carrière dans des versions intimistes et dépouillées. Ces 3 albums sont réunis dans ce coffret noir et blanc, accompagnés d'un livret comprenant les paroles de toutes les chansons (obligatoire évidemment quand on a affaire à un artiste de cette trempe). Tous ses tubes sont là, à commencer par Lonely at the top, dans laquelle Randy critique le show business en jouant la star blasée avec énormément d'autodérision ("Listen, all you fools out there, Go on and love me, I don't care"). L'humour est omniprésent, parfois au 2ème ou 3ème degré, souvent grinçant: Rednecks, It's money that I love ou encore Short People, qui lui a valu des déboires judiciaires pénibles, certains auditeurs à l'esprit étroit ayant pris la chanson au pied de la lettre...Il le dit pourtant clairement dans les paroles de la chanson: "Short people are just the same as you and I"! Malgré ça, un homme politique voulait faire passer en 1978 une loi rendant illégale la diffusion de Short People à la radio (heureusement refusée!)...Newman est un mélodiste hors-pair, certains de ses morceaux ont été popularisés par d'autres artistes: on pense évidemment à Joe Cocker qui a fait de You can leave your hat on un succès mondial ou qui a aussi repris Guilty. Newman est aussi devenu un des compositeurs de musiques de films et films d'animation les plus célèbres (on retrouve You've got a friend in me, tiré de Toy Story 4). Ce ne sont pas les merveilles qui manquent ici (I love to see you smile, I love L.A...). Ces chansons sont souvent teintées de mélancolie, un amour ancien et profond pour le jazz, le blues et rhythm'n'blues, les racines des musiques états-uniennes. 5 titres supplémentaires ont été ajoutés par rapport aux albums originaux. Cette belle rétrospective confirme que Randy Newman est bien un des artistes les plus importants des 50 dernières années, malheureusement pas forcément reconnu à sa juste valeur dans un pays comme la France, c'est dommage.

Einzigartige Sammlung einzigartiger Musik

Reviewed in Germany on March 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

Wer sich für die "Gesamtaufnahme" eines Werkes interessiert, kennt in der Regel größere Teile davon. Das ist wohl auch bei Interessenten am "Songbook" von Randy Newman so. Man kennt die "Hits" seines Jahrzehnte langen musikalischen Schaffens und ist überrascht wie viele das sind - sie füllen immerhin drei CDs mit mehr als 3 Stunden Laufzeit. Eventuell hat man auch die eine oder andere LP oder CD in seiner Sammlung und glaubt, dass eine Zusammenstellung nichts Neues bieten kann. Weit gefehlt.
Newmans "Songbook" beinhaltet zwar die Hauptwerke des Songwriters, aber nicht in ihren bekannten Versionen in mehr oder weniger üppigen Arrangements bzw. Orchestrierungen, sondern sie führt den Zuhörer zu den "nackten" Kompositionen und Texten. Randy Newman hat sie allein am Klavier eingespielt und macht durch diese Zurückführung den Charakter eines jeden Stückes voll hörbar - man ist überrascht von der Vielfalt und der strengen Form seiner Musik. Die harmonische Grundstruktur jedes Stückes wird minutiös ausgespielt, da ist jeder Ton an seinem festen Platz, da wird nichts "improvisiert" oder spieltechnisch ausgeschmückt. Man spürt durchgehend den "Ernst" des Komponisten, ohne dass das Hören etwa anstrengend oder gleichförmig würde - Newmans Klavierspiel ist so wohltuend effektfrei, dass man wirklich die Gestalt des jeweiligen Songs aufnehmen kann. Sein Gesang ist mit dem Alter nicht gerade "schöner" geworden, die Höhen fallen schwer - das spielt aber keine Rolle, alles passt wunderbar zusammen, die Texte sind ja auch nicht so, dass Wohlgesang angebracht wäre. Manches Wort wird vernuschelt oder verschluckt - macht nix, dafür gibt's ein passendes, ebenso nüchternes Booklet mit allen Texten.
Die Tradition der "American Songbooks" großer Komponisten durch die Jahrzehnte des 20. Jahrhunderts wird durch Randy Newmans Musik weiter geführt. Für mich ist das konzentrierte Hören der "puren" Songs dieser Aufnahmen der reine Genuss.
