Description
Personnel includes: Randy Newman (vocals, piano); Glenn Frey (vocals, guitar); Waddy Wachtel, Joe Walsh (guitar); Ry Cooder (mandola); Ralph Grierson (piano); Willie Weeks, Rick Marotta (bass); Jim Keltner (drums, percussion); Milt Holland (percussion); Tim Schmidt, J.D. Souther, Don Henley (background vocals). Recorded at Warner Brothers Recording Studios, North Hollywood, California amd The Burbank Studios, Burbank, California between July & September 1977. Newman's most commercially successful album opens with his misunderstood masterpiece, "Short People." Of course he is not being derogatory towards people of restricted growth, that's just the way it seems. Those who understand Mr. Newman's brilliant pathos and irony know he has a heart of gold. After all, what heart of stone could write evocative material such as "Baltimore" and "I'll Be Home." It is widely known that Newman is one of America's greatest ever songwriters--if only his music could be more widely known and appreciated, and not have to rely on "helping hands" of the Eagles to escalate its US sales and chart position.
