I bought it on vinyl when it was new and am revisiting my collection to acquire digital versions of the real keepers. I really enjoy the fact that his songs tell a story and his quirky voice and singing style work well with them. If you can only get one Randy Newman album this one deserves serious consideration. One person found this helpful. Randy Newman has always been a 'sleeper'. Not, his ability to write and arrange music (melody), itself.
