Listen

Good Old Boys had arrived that September on Reprise, a song cycle about the American South built around a character named Lester who was proud of things he shouldn't be proud of. It was Randy Newman's fourth album and the first to break him into the mainstream. He played it solo piano at the Record Plant on November 4, 1974, to a small room, with Tom Donahue introducing. A grey-market remaster of the broadcast circulates under a mislabeled November 10 date that propagated through the commercial release chain; the genealogy of the original tape confirms November 4 as correct.
