INTERVIEW SETHLAKE MAN
This album was lying in my dad’s extensive vinyl collection when I found it. He was a big fan of Randy Newman, and along with Chris De Burgh, I really consider those two the ‘soundtrack to my dad’. I loved the sound of the band and Randy’s voice. By my foggy recollection, I must have only been 12 or 13 at the time I discovered the record and started listening to him. I was getting absorbed by the West Coast sound of those 70s records; Glyn Johns’ production, the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Warren Zevon and Ry Cooder. I wouldn’t say I was listening to much of the music popular among my friends at the time, something that still seems to be true nowadays!
