Randy Newman – Trouble In Paradise (2-CD)
Product Details
Randy Newman had already established himself as one of America's sharpest satirists by the time "Trouble In Paradise" arrived in 1983, but this album caught him at a pivot point, balancing biting social commentary with a new commercial accessibility. The California swagger of "I Love L.A." masked lyrics that, true to Newman's form, rewarded closer listening with something far more complicated than a simple civic boast.
Two CD expanded edition. Named one of the 100 Greatest Albums of the 1980s by Rolling Stone. Featuring the anthem "I Love L.A.," that helped define his legacy as a voice in American music. This edition will also feature Un Samedi en Décembre, a promotional live album originally released exclusively in France and included with early French copies of the album and the previous unissued demos. With Warner Bros. Hitmakers Russ Titelman and Lenny Waronker producing, and star-studded cast of guest vocalists including Paul Simon, Linda Ronstadt, and Bob Seger, the 1983 collection display the craftsmanship that would make the singer-songwriter one of the most sought-after composers for film and TV.
