Randy Newman: Live At the Odeon

I love Randy Newman and Ry Cooder and this old “recorded live” from 1983 has both, plus Linda Ronstadt. So what more could a fan ask?

Cooder backs Newman up on a performance of “Let’s Burn Down the Corn Field” filled with hair-raising menace — mostly from a brooding slide guitar line, but Newman can play a pretty menacing piano riff too — and the trio on “Rider in the Rain” is just charming.
