<3. Folks say this is controversial & angry. it's none of that. it's love
rednecks. "rednecks" is not a celebration of southern ignorance. it points out that the segregation which is pinned on "redneck ignorance" also exists in the ghettos of boston, new york, san francisco, chicago, etc.
A Complete Record. This is one of the most complete albums ever written. Every song on it is good (some better than others), but I am never tempted to skip over songs because they all tell a great story. Rednecks, Mr. President (Have Pity on the working man), Naked Man and Back on My Feet Again are my favorites, but I can appreciate them all. Good Old Boys paints a picture of the South like few other albums do, and it also gives a history lesson and social commentary while entertaining listeners.
A Masterpiece. I just want to say that the review misunderstood "Rednecks." If you listen closely to the second half of the song, he clearly puts the whole nation on trial and wants us to see that there are racists in every city. Yes, he clearly makes fun of southerners in the first half, enforcing all of the stereotypes. But he does that to drive home the point in the second half of the song. His "We're rednecks" line at the end applies to everyone, not just those in the southern part of the US. The beginning part of the song, about Lester Maddox, points to this: "He may be a fool, but he's our fool / If they think they're better than them, they're wrong. I went to the park and took some paper along / That's where I wrote this song." I would expect an itunes reviewer to be more adept at recognizing the nuances of satire.
Simply put: A masterpiece.. Even if you are not a Randy Newman fan, this album should be heard and savored. It has the richness of music and emotion generally only found in great films or theater productions. Lyrically, Good Old Boys is as satirically sophisticated as any album I’ve ever heard. Newman attacks weighty themes like race relations, social strife, and nothing short of the American Dream with humor, pathos and biting wit. Good Old Boys is equal part Mark Twain and Jonathon Swift … and that’s just the lyrical content. The music is evocative, bluesy, beautiful, down-home, eclectic, folk-y and rock-y. Good Old Boys has so many layers of lyrical and musical richness that is only gets better over time. A triumph.
