Randy Newman :: WPLJ FM – New York City – August, 1971
Twenty-three track radio session Randy Newman cut while in New York City in August of 1971 for WPLJ FM. Stripped down, solo piano. The session serves to both highlight material culled from Newman’s first two albums (1968′s s/t and 1970′s 12 Songs) as well as to showcase tracks from his next full-length, 1972′s Sail Away.

YESSSS!
STORY TIME: My first ever ‘concert experience’ was seeing Randy Newman with my dad at Wolf Trap when I was 9 years old. It was extra special because when I was little my dad & I used to sing songs off of Little Criminals together, usually: “Short People” and “Baltimore.”
Funny to think only 2 years later my first ‘no-parents concert’ would be Radiohead’s first North American tour.
