Land of Dreams

Amazon.com
During the 1970s, singer/songwriter Randy Newman distinguished himself by dodging the prevailing confessional trend that was de rigueur for his peers, preferring to build his songs around richly detailed, often grotesque characters, and taking his story lines from anyone's history but his own. By the late '80s, however, his parallel ambitions as a film composer now yielding a separate, equally distinctive body of work, Newman was relaxed enough to allow introspection: 1988's Land of Dreams spins Newman's childhood sojourn in wartime New Orleans into the wonderful, opening title song and the farcical "New Orleans Wins the War," relives grade school traumas ("Four Eyes"), and offers a bleak portrait of a marriage unraveling on the quietly devastating "Bad News from Home." These songs, and two atypically tender love songs, "Something Special" and "Falling In Love," are as close to autobiography as he's ever gotten. --Sam Sutherland

good memories for me and fun "new" songs for my children.......2007-06-27

We had ordered this for "The Dukes of Hazzard" theme song for our 4yr old and our whole family has fallen in love with the cd. It makes me want to share some of the old fun and simple shows with my children. I forgot about some of those shows. It brings back good memories for my husband and me and the songs are new and exciting for our children. It's a nice change from children's cd's, but our children still think it's fun. The sound quality is good and the songs included on the cd are a great mix. I would definately recommend this one.

memories.......2007-02-22

This cd is excellent it has a lot of very good music and true to the original sound, Am getting a lot of enjoyment,highly recomended

TV Theme Songs.......2007-01-13

This is a great CD for people who watch a lot of TV -especially TV LAND and reruns of old shows when shows had actual theme songs. I took the CD to work and everyone loved trying to figure out what show the songs were from.

TV themes.......2006-07-05

Not all what I expected, not all of the tunes are the original recordings you remember as the TV themes.

Deja Vu.......2006-02-17

Listening to these familiar themes as performed by the original artists certainly brings back wonderful memories! I was particularly pleased, not only with the quality of the pieces, but with the actual performances themselves, just as we remembered them!

couldn't make it through (1 star?).......2006-06-17

I admit, I'm not being a good reviewer here. It's important to live with music for a while, let it hit you from different angles, when critiquing. I haven't listened to the album in it's entirety.

I decided to buy the album after hearing 'Sail Away' - a friend loaned me the album and I fell in love instantly: his heart stopping clarity, his cynic lover American gaze.. Sail Away, where it's not overly simple, is elegaic and powerful. So, I fell in love with Sail Away and rushed to my computer to order anything else I could find by Randy. My first two orders were this and Randy Newman's first album. The first album SOARS! it's one of my favorite discoveries of the last five years! His orchestral arangements flesh out the simplicity of his vignettes so that each song is a miniature symphony. The lonliness of his voice is made beautiful by the orchestral richness -- and the caterwalling, the wail, really sings in it's infancy. Anyway -- that first album took everything that I loved about Sail Away and magnified it.

Land of dreams is destroyed by its claustrophobic mid 80's production -- the life that is so apparent in his first album here is completely plastic, formless, tired. Listening to the first couple tracks made me immensely sad. The lyrics, too, seem predictibly nemwanesque. It's an attempt at honesty -- I bet the fans at the time loved this -- but it seems so colored, so dramatized, full of smoke and mirrors, I can't help but feel manipulated. This is LA's cookie-cutter Randy Newman. Roll em out, ship em hot. Americans love caricature.

I had the same reaction to a compilation of ray charles duets. The authenticity of Ray's character was pummeled by horrible production -- synth strings, drums machines, big cymbal rolls and glistening chimes -- the drama was overbearing. Mocked the wonderful flaws of Ray's voice. It's like the producers want you to forget that this is a person singing -- this is the same voice this person orders pizza with, yelled at the umpire with... It's aweful karaoki.

Like I said, I haven't made it through the CD. I intend to try again. I'm sorry that I have to put 'stars' to my feelings. I put three stars so that you the reader might not discard this review as cynical, overbearing. But I feel like the recording is unapproachable. It's like watching an interview between Christina Aguilara and Anselm Kiefer -- how painful! How awkward and Painful!

It's interesting to note that on Randy's most recent recording (Songbook vol. 1) which features just Randy at his piano playing through some of his favorite pieces, he plays nothing from this record. I wonder how he feels about this recording.

Genius.......2006-02-19

Does Randy Newman ever write a bad song? I don't think so. What a great CD. I could listen to this masterful collection of songs every day.

Newman on the brink of big 1980s success..........2004-12-01

Mark Knopfler, of Dire Straits fame, said about his "collaboration" with Randy Newman that "I'm doing this for Randy, I don't need the cash." In 1988, when Knopfler co-produced this album, Dire Straits were still riding the seemingly permanent wave caused by "Brothers in Arms" (which included the then ubiquitous "Money For Nothing"; MTV and radio stations couldn't stop playing it). He backed Newman on "Saturday Night Live" playing "It's Money That Matters". Newman suddenly appeared everywhere: on "The Tonight Show" and "Late Night With David Letterman". In fact, most of the album was played live on various television shows in 1988. Attentive Newman fans probably thought, maybe, just maybe, this will be Newman's huge break? Finally he will get the recognition he deserves! Then he can quit writing film scores and put out more than two albums a decade!! THANK YOU MARK KNOPFLER!!!

Well, of course we know what happened. "Land of Dreams" did well enough ("It's Money That Matters" wafted in and out of the airwaves in 1988), but, alas, was not the huge blockbuster some thought it could or should be. Newman went back to his lucrative day job and didn't surface again until 1995's "Faust". In his wake, however, he left a great album.

"Dixie Flyer" and "New Orleans Wins the War" are amongst Newman's best songs. Both talk about his southern American upbringing (both were also produced by Knopfler; his trademark volume-pedal guitar seeps in and out of the mix). "Four Eyes" takes on the subject of childhood cruelty in a sink-or-swim manner imposed by his father. Newman's record of his first taste of reality? The 1980s sythesizers kick in here as well, changing the mood and sound drastically from the first two songs. "Falling in Love" (produced by ELO's Jeff Lynne - so Newman was apparently forgiven for 1979's "The Story of a Rock And Roll Band") and "Something Special" should have put Newman on the charts. Both are uplifting unsappy portaits of that fuzziest of all human emotions. The eerie "Bad News From Home" presents the other side of the story. Nothing special about that love. "Roll With The Punches" reintroduces Newman's famous "Big Jerk" character (the same who sang "Yellow Man", "You Can Leave Your Hat On", "Memo To My Son", "Short People" and many others). It speaks for itself. "Masterman and Baby J" doesn't play too well these days. In 1988 it played like a great parody of the lame pop rap that was just beginning to infiltrate the airwaves. Unfortunately, it hasn't aged well. The same can be said for "Red Bandana". These two tracks are the album's weak spot. "Follow The Flag" presents an empty anthem. Which flag is being followed? The assumption is the American Flag, but why think that? It more reflects on people's tendency to group under a symbol. "It's Money That Matters" sounds a little too real for comfort at times. Lyrically, it now seems a bit too prophetic for its own good. Still a great song. Then the devastating closer: "I Just Want You To Hurt Like I Do". On tv and in concert, Newman often introduces this one as his "We Are The World". He asks the audience to imagine a big line of people, hands joined, all swaying to the rhythm and singing in unison. The song is also amongst Newman's best and most poignant. Whew, what a closer.

Newman closed out the 1980s with incredible style. Unfortunately he did only produce two non-film albums that decade (and went on to do the exact same in the 1990s). Newman never lost it, and still hasn't. One wonders if the sheer paucity of his later output contributes to his continued quality. If so, then the wait between albums was well worth it.

Fabulous album.......2004-11-10

This is Randy's most personal album, telling his story through his satire and brutal honesty coupled with brilliant musicianship and arranging. It isn't until you get to his failed attempt at lampooning rap midway through that he stumbles briefly. But the listener will gladly forgive him because of jewels like "Something Special" "Dixie Flyer" "Falling in Love" "Four Eyes" and the incredibly heart-breaking "I just want you to hurt like I do." These are some of the best songs he's ever written and recorded.

Mister Randy Newman.......2004-03-20

Brilliantly cynical, sensitive and melodic... as usual. Like Woody Allen, Randy Newman is not as successful in the US as he is in Europe... des perles a des cochons!

This was a very unique item. Fans of the series will enjoy it. At times some of the tracks seem out of place when out of the game, but that's more than made up for by the many powerful and classic tracks that these CD's have. The first CD is more techno-inspired while the second is more operatic. It's good music to do push-ups to or to drive to. Especially the first track of the first CD.

Review of Americans in London.......2006-03-09

The recording is excellent and replaces my old 78 recordings which I transferred to tape some years ago. But they have that horrible hissing noise which spoils my enjoyment of them.
It is to be observed that although the cast is American, the orchestras and conductors are British (except for Debroy Sommers). I know qite a bot about Deboy Sommers and Lew Stone, but can anyone fill me in about Reginald Burston?
The CD is great. Thank you to Amazon for this.

Great memories but nothing Remastered here........2006-04-15

To call this CD remastered is a bit misleading. I would have gotten the same results by sticking a cheap microphone near the speaker of an equally cheap television set.

The songs and sounds of the Marx Brothers brought back great memories but the skips in the CD and the overall quality of sound was a bit disheartening. If you love the Marx Brothers then buy this CD for the memories, as for the quality, I would definately think twice.

If comedy were still like this . . ........2005-08-20

. . . it'd be much better than it is - well, if you've seen "Monkey Business" you know what I'm talking about!

This CD contains music from two of the Marx Brothers' early Paramount films, "The Cocoanuts" (their first) and "Monkey Business." Since these films were made in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the sound quality isn't the best (and the dialog occasionally carries over in the music), but considering that a CD like this is hard to find, it's certainly worth adding to your Marx Brothers collection. Not only do you get Chico's chord-smashing, finger-accented piano playing, or Harpo's dreamy, beloved harp playing, you get some of the Brothers' comedy bits from these two movies - such as their hilarious Chevalier "impersations" and the immortal "Why-a-duck?" exchange.

Just a tiny bone to pick: Harpo's solo in "Monkey Business" is actually called "I'm Daffy Over You" (written by Chico!), not "Sugar in the Morning" as the CD case says.

"Minton's Playhouse, one of the holiest jazz landmarks in New York, reopened in May for the first time since 1974 ... saxophonist Charles Davis was there over the weekend, playing in a way that few musicians do anymore; he represents something as genuine and worth celebrating as the club itself." -- Ben Ratliff, New York Times

Saxophonist and international jazz star Charles Davis has appeared on classic jazz recordings for over fifty years, in the company of Billie Holiday, Ben Webster, Dinah Washington, Sun Ra, Kenny Dorham, Elvin Jones, and more. He is recognized as one of the great saxophonists in the history of jazz.
