12 Songs From Randy

Original released on LP Reprise RS 6373

(US, April 1970)

This LP can be considered an integral example of the early development of what is now called “Americana”.  (Of course, Americana was always there, but it was originally called folk, blues, country, and so on).  The compositions – all but one (“Underneath the Harlem Moon”) by Newman – display a fully developed, mature style that draws heavily on late 19th/early 20th century genres such as ragtime, Tin Pan Alley, and minstrel-show music, as well as early jazz and blues, and on a couple of tracks, country. Lyrically, this is a typical Randy Newman album, with a generous helping of his trademark dark humor, typically focused on certain, shall we say, atavistic tendencies in the American psyche… many of the tracks are personality sketches of diverse unsavory characters, primarily of the rural Southern male variety (judging by the dialect and accent). For example, the pedal-steel-soaked “Old Kentucky Home” is sung by a stereotypical inbred hillbilly; Uncle Bob of “Uncle Bob’s Midnight Blues” is the kind of guy you hear muttering curses under his breath as you walk past him sitting on the front porch; and the protagonist of “Suzanne” sounds like a stalker, although more pathetic than scary… it’s pretty obvious this guy doesn’t get a lot. The theme of frustrated lust crops up on a number of other tracks, such as “Rosemary”; “Have You Seen My Baby” (the most rocking track on the album); “Lover’s Prayer”, in which the singer is humorously particular about the kind of girl he wants God to provide; and the gas station attendant’s plea, “If You Need Oil”.  Another theme – the offhand racism that pervaded popular culture up until sometime in the 1960s – appears in two songs:  “Underneath the Harlem Moon” from 1932, and Newman’s own “Yellow Man”. Instrumentally the album is gorgeous; the slide guitar of Ry Cooder (another significant early practitioner of Americana) really stands out, especially on the sparse and eerie “Let’s Burn Down the Cornfield”, but other musicians include guitarists Clarence White (Byrds) and Ron Elliott (Beau Brummels), prominent studio percussionists Milt Holland and Jim Gordon, and drummer Gene Parsons (Byrds). There are some nice old-fashioned horn arrangements too (on “Yellow Man” and “Rosemary”).  It’s just a shame that Newman’s voice (none too clear under the best of conditions) is buried so deep in the mix on some cuts that you have to strain to get any idea at all of what he’s singing.  Thank goodness for the lyric sheet.

RANDY NEWMAN Debut Album

Original released on LP Reprise RS 6286

(US, June 1968)

Have so many good songs been so ruthlessly butchered by a performer? Probably hundreds of times. But here the songwriter and the butcher are the same person. It is difficult to describe Newman's singing on this album: painful is an obvious word but it seems inadequate. Often he wobbles around the tune but never quite manages to get it, instead he pushes it through a meat grinder. And there he is on the back of the sleeve, looking like an insurance salesman - but in his turtle neck sweater he looks like an insurance salesman trying to look hip, but in his attempt he just underlines that he is as square as a breeze block. But then listen to the songs: they are Randy Newman at his best, neither hip nor square, just unique. They are not the easy cynical smuggery he was later to lapse into, they are suggestions for short stories that call for mixed and contrasting responses. "Bet No One Ever Hurt This Bad" has one of Newman's favourite subjects, the jilted lover, but here the abandoned lover sentimentalizes his failure, bragging about his emotional pain - typically we are called to feel for the singer's sense of loss, while being amused by his self-aggrandizement, while perhaps recognizing the sentimentalizing in our own behaviour. "Living Without You" is a sincere and touching response to the same predicament - perhaps all the more touching when contrasted to the previous song. "Linda" is yet another response to the same situation, but here Newman responds in a slightly hackneyed way: is he just being corny or is he pointing to the corniness of the situation? I presume the latter, but that doesn't stop me from finding the song touching. Newman sings to an often lush orchestra and the orchestrations are clever and crafty and ambitious (vastly more interesting than his later use of violins on, for instance, "Good Old Boys"). And it is worth pondering where Newman comes from: he is obviously not rock and roll, and he doesn't come out of the folky traditions that most of the interesting North American singer-songwriters of his generation came from - he is closer to older traditions, the Hollywood scores of his uncles or the pre-rock and roll song: but he has transformed then into something new. These songs had a big impact on me when I was a teenager and after hardly listening to them for years I've spent the weekend listening to the album time after time (it is less than 30 minutes long - Newman is concise) - I don't think I'm suffering from nostalgia, they just seem remarkable songs. And I'm even getting used to his singing again. (And I haven't even mentioned the unsettling "I Think It's Going to Rain Today", one of Newman's finest songs and one of the great songs from his generation of American songwriters.)

BONNIE RAITT Debut Album

Original released on LP Warner Bros WS 1953

(US, November 1971)

Debut album by very young Bonnie Raitt who was fresh as daisy at the time of this recording but knew what she wanted and cherry picked good, strong songs - there are some very good self-penned originals ("Finest Lovin' Man","Thank You") mixed with soulful covers ("Danger Heartbreak Ahead") and her love for older blues tradition clear from the start as she covered two songs from repertoire of her heroine, blues singer Sippie Wallace who was known as "Texas nightingale" in her golden days. What I find particulary attractive here - and it wasn't Raitt's intention - is the way her young self attacks these old blues songs with that young voice,it is actually very endearing to hear that still young girl boasting in "Mighty Tight Woman" and its perfect note by note just funny to hear coming from such young sweet thing. Of course there is nothing fake or posing in Bonnie Raitt, she was dead serious about following any blues mama in that territory but it's like hearing your younger sister channeling to Robert Johnson, you want to hug and kiss her. Music wise, it sounds rough at the places but there is nothing bad with it, it's just that later studio recordings will became more polished and the atmosphere here is of a bunch of friends playing together, which was actually a fact - just look at them on the back cover and it shows. Raitt probably smiles every time she sees this album and I could almost hear her saying «God, I was so young here!» (in RateYourMusic)

BONNIE RAITT: "Give It Up"

Original released on LP Warner Bros BS 2643

(US, August 1972)

Bonnie Raitt may have switched producers for her second album "Give It Up", hiring Michael Cuscuna, but she hasn't switched her style, sticking with the thoroughly engaging blend of folk, blues, R&B, and Californian soft rock. If anything, she's strengthened her formula here, making the divisions between the genres nearly indistinguishable. Take the title track, for instance. It opens with a bluesy acoustic guitar before kicking into a New Orleans brass band about halfway through - and the great thing about it is that Raitt makes the switch sound natural, even inevitable, never forced. And that's just the tip of the iceberg here, since "Give It Up" is filled with great songs, delivered in familiar, yet always surprising, ways by Raitt and her skilled band. For those that want to pigeonhole her as a white blues singer, she delivers the lovely "Nothing Seems to Matter," a gentle mid-tempo number that's as mellow as Linda Ronstadt and far more seductive. That's the key to "Give It Up": Yes, Raitt can be earthy and sexy, but she balances it with an inviting sensuality that makes the record glow. It's all delivered in a fantastic set of originals and covers performed so naturally it's hard to tell them apart and roots music so thoroughly fused that it all sounds original, even when it's possible to spot the individual elements or influences. Raitt would go on to greater chart successes, but she not only had trouble topping this record, generations of singers, from Sheryl Crow to Shelby Lynne, have used this as a touchstone. One of the great Southern California records. (Thomas Erlewine in AllMusic)

CAT STEVENS Debut Album

Original released on LP Deram DML 1004

(UK 1967, March 10)

Cat Stevens' "Matthew & Son" was among the handful of releases that introduced Decca Records' "offbeat"-oriented (but ultimately largely psychedelic/progressive) Deram label in England. Actually, Stevens' "I Love My Dog" launched the label in fine style by climbing to number 27 on the U.K. charts, and its follow-up, "Matthew & Son," hit number two, resulting in the release of the original album of the same name. The latter was not only a fine account of Stevens' early folk-influenced pop/rock sound, but was also a beautiful, candid audio "snapshot" of one side of Swinging London's musical ambience in late 1966 and early 1967. It melds tinkling harpsichords ("Matthew & Son") and moderately ambitious orchestrations (mostly horns and strings) on some songs ("I Love My Dog") with folky acoustic guitar on others ("Portabello Road"), a lot of it carrying highly expressive, weirdly personal lyrics. Though it was like pulling teeth to get some of those early records out from Decca, this album sounds today like the record that should have accompanied the American version of the Beatles' "Rubber Soul" onto millions of turntables. It's very distant from the sound that Stevens was ultimately known for, and in many ways, it's more dated than what he did for Island/A&M, but it's much more self-consciously accessible, arranged in different styles, ranging from vaudeville-style band accompaniment ("I See a Road") to trippy Donovan-esque ballads ("Baby Get Your Head Screwed On," "When I Speak to the Flowers," "Hummingbird"). Some of it, such as the sax-driven "Come on and Dance," is a little awkward as efforts at a soul sound, but all of it is fun, even the slightly too Engelbert Humperdinck-esque "Lady." (Bruce Eder in AllMusic)
