Five years after Trouble in Paradise, Randy Newman released 1988’s Land of Dreams, another album I inexplicably don’t own. That one wasn’t as universally acclaimed as his 70s work but I’m sure it’s worth a listen. And following Land of Dreams, Newman went silent.
Well, maybe that’s not the way to put it. The man wrote scores and songs for 12 feature films over the next 11 years, including his celebrated work on The Natural, Avalon and the first two Toy Story films. But he didn’t record another album of his own songs until 1999, when he released Bad Love.
