Album Notes
Solo performer: Randy Newman (vocals, piano).
Recorded at The Bitter End, New York, New York between September 17 & 19, 1970.
Captured early in his career, with only a piano for accompaniment at New York's intimate Bitter End, Newman delivers song after chilling song full of dread, sorrow, evil and peversity. If that doesn't sound like fun to you, you're not familiar with Newman's gift for making sin and ugliness palatable through ironic humor and a rare melodic gift. Since there's no band to embellish things here, the tunes are sparse and short (not one reaches the three-minute mark), which just serves to put Newman's sharp lyrics and offhand delivery into focus.
In these more skeletal versions of songs that appear on Newman's early albums, the bite of the sarcasm and the pull of Newman's emotional Machiavelli-isms come across that much stronger. "I Think It's Going to Rain Today" subtly predicts an eternity of ill will for humanity. "Old Kentucky Home" skewers an impossibly dysfunctional family with characteristic black humor. On "Lonely at the Top," (supposedly written for and rejected by Sinatra), Newman takes a poke at his own cult status. An indispensible part of the Newman catalog.

Editorial Reviews
4 Stars - Excellent - ...There's such a wealth of early Newman classics in the set that's it's easy to forget that many of his finest songs were still to come.
Q (08/01/1995)

...Randy has the deepest, most consistent, most original comic vision to be found in pop music today...
Rolling Stone (08/19/1971)
