It seems to me that Randy Newman has always had a gift for writing beautiful and evocative music, and "Louisiana - 1927" is no exception. Outstanding, Randy, and thanks to thecatkeaton for posting this.
i love this guy, who doesn't, but..this could be as whimsical and fun as the toy story tunes with a little more percussion. it could be sung over top it's so the same in theory. it's unimpressive for a sad song, why would he make every song in a major key like this?
With all that has happened to Louisana recently, and the past few years, and how badly the people of that area have been treated by the mis-handling of disaster relief by our own Govt., THIS would be our perfect national anthym. Randy Newman, you are a musical and social genius far ahead of your time.
so beautiful no words can describe it

At the very least, I know Ray Charles recorded or performed "Sail Away." Even Nina Simone has covered his work.

do you know if Ray Charles ever recorded or sang any of Newmna's songs?

I'm sorry but I really don't know. I do like Rays Music, most of it is old rock. I love the old 50's, 60's and some 70's rock n roll.

What a beautiful song, it makes me so sad and tells me that beauty can be sorrowful and hopeful all at the same time...Go figure
