Where it came from
Published in 2018 as part of the Praeger Singer-Songwriter Collection, this volume provides a scholarly examination of Randy Newman’s expansive career. Gilbert L. Gigliotti, a professor of English and comparative literature, curated this work to analyze how Newman’s lyrical sophistication and mastery of irony shaped the American musical landscape from the 1960s onward.
The book is designed to bridge the gap between popular biography and critical musicology, offering close readings of Newman's most influential songs. Gigliotti intended to highlight Newman’s role as a sharp social commentator who often adopts satirical personas, a thematic approach that has been well-received by critics for providing academic rigor to the study of a songwriter frequently misunderstood by casual listeners.
