1974 US original, Santa Maria pressing. Good Old Boys is Randy Newman’s 1974 Southern gothic song cycle, blending sharp satire with deep empathy. With tracks like “Rednecks,” “Louisiana 1927,” and “Birmingham,” Newman paints vivid, often uncomfortable portraits of American life—mixing biting social commentary with tender storytelling. Orchestrated with rich arrangements and his trademark wit, it’s both provocative and poignant, cementing Newman’s place as one of America’s most fearless songwriters.
