The three hundred and twenty-third album: #323 Randy Newman - Good Old Boys

The problem with Good Old Boys from my perspective is that it's an album set in the political reality of its day, long since distorted by what happened in American politics after, and coming form the south of the USA in a way that doesn't connect to me. The album feels distant for that reason, placed in a time and period where its viewpoint gets less respect from me because of everything that followed since. On an album that thrives on its lyrics, it makes it harder, with the music being country pop, some rock in there, but nothing that impresses me further. The album is a wash for me.
