Harps and Angels, Randy Newman's first album of new music in nearly a decade, is due out on Nonesuch August 5, and already, CBS Sunday Morning's Bill Flanagan is calling it one of the summer's best.
"I was in New Orleans for JazzFest last month and Randy Newman stole the show," says Flanagan. "Newman is our generation's Stephen Foster and our Mark Twain. His new album Harps and Angels ... will have you in hysterics with one song and break your heart with the next."
