Good Old Boys (1974) est le 4e album de studio de l'auteur-compositeur-interprète américain de rock Randy Newman.

Sommaire

Présentation

Les chansons portent sur divers travers passés du Sud des États-Unis tels que l'esclavage, le racisme ("Rednecks") et la pauvreté ("Mr. President (Have Pity on the Working Man)"), mais avec un ton ironique qui montre qu'ils ne sont pas spécifiques aux gens du Sud. Extrait de "Rednecks":

Now your northern nigger's a Negro
You see he's got his dignity
Down here we're too ignorant to realize
That the North has set the nigger free
Yes he's free to be put in a cage
In Harlem in New York City
And he's free to be put in a cage in the South-Side of Chicago, the West-Side...

Randy Newman est accompagné notamment par Ry Cooder et trois membres du groupe The Eagles (Glenn Frey, Don Henley et Bernie Leadon).

L'album a eu un bon succès commercial, restant 21 semaines dans le classement du Billboard 200, atteignant le 36e rang[2].
