1988 Light Blue & Yellow Label Original In Glossy, Unplayed Condition. Includes Custom Inner Sleeve. Produced By Mark Knopfler. “Unlike His Contemporaries In The Singer/Songwriter Community, Randy Newman Has Displayed Little Interest In Writing About Himself, With Nearly Every Song In His Repertoire Set In The Voice Of Some Imagined Character. So 1988's Land Of Dreams Was Startling Because Its First Three Songs Formed A Triptych About Newman's Childhood; For The First Time On One Of His Albums, Newman Was Clearly Writing About His Own Life, And The Results Were Extraordinary. "Dixie Flyer" Tells How Newman And His Mother Came To Move From Los Angeles To New Orleans During World War II; "New Orleans Wins The War" Introduces Young Newman To The Issues Of Race In The Deep South As He Ponders The Odd Realities Of Life In "The City That Care Forgot"; In "Four Eyes," Cross-Eyed Newman Is Forced To Confront Responsibility (And Cruelty) For The First Time On His First Day In School.” Mark Deming, All Music.
