Randy Newman - Sail Away

This week we'll be discussing Randy Newman's incredible 1972 album, Sail Away. Newman has an incredibly unique voice, literally, and in his lyrics. He embodies crusty, pathetic characters in a way that is so sarcastic, yet so authentic. You might not like the people Randy Newman is singing about, but by the end of the song, you'll get to know them really well.
