Randy Newman’s Good Old Boys is not something that I want to listen to. I have never liked his voice. Who keeps this guy working when there are much better singers and musicians. His songs are so freaking goofy. This was supposed to be a concept album of an everyman of the Deep South, a redneck. He obviously thinks the south is filled with rednecks who hate niggers according to his lyrics.
I think there is a danger in stereotyping a group of people. I have been in different areas of the south and there are degrees of racism. I saw the most racism in Atlanta, Georgia and less in New Orleans, Louisiana, but there is racism in Europe as well. These racist people are the minority.
I think this is an awful album and his voice sucks. I usually like satire. 0/10.
