So rarely does he perform that this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodbowl.com\/events\/performances\/397\/2018-08-12\/randy-newman-the-albums-1968-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sunday’s concert<\/a> at the Hollywood Bowl is a must-see for even the slightest fans of Newman’s work.<\/p>\n<p>The evening is billed as an evening of songs from all of Newman’s studio albums. From his first album in 1968 (appropriately titled\u00a0<em>Randy Newman<\/em>) through his most recent recording,\u00a0<em>Dark Matter<\/em> (2017), Newman has written songs that will stand the test of time. His wit and emotion combine to comment on the subjects of the day, but they never seem like relics of a different era. Rather, he so smartly crafted his songs that they remain topical today and will continue to do so for generations to come.<\/p>\n<p>To get an overview of his repertoire, check out my dream setlist I posted <a href=\"http:\/\/culturalattache.co\/2018\/08\/09\/randy-newman-setlist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> yesterday. There are videos or audio clips of each of the songs I’ve selected. \u00a0And the ones I didn’t choose are very familiar to most people:<\/p>\n<p>“Mama Told Me Not To Come”<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/E1tEQQ8BNSg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>“Short People”<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8bfyS-S-IJs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>“It’s Money that I Love”<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-3HoMOmoxzU\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And of course, “I Love L.A.”<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KcADqxnQA_4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This concert will feature Newman with his band and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra conducted by his cousin, film composer David Newman.<\/p>\n<p>From my point of view, this is\u00a0<strong>the<\/strong><em>\u00a0<\/em>concert of this summer’s schedule at the Hollywood Bowl not to be missed.
