Good Old Boys

by Randy Newman

Good Old Boys cover art

Widely regarded as his absolute masterpiece, Randy Newman's 'Good Old Boys' is a brilliant, highly controversial concept album exploring the complexities and prejudices of the American South. The record utilizes wonderfully melodic piano rock and New Orleans R&B to deliver intensely sarcastic, deeply satirical character studies that reveal a surprisingly conscious, historical tragedy.
