Listening to Randy Newman’s Good Old Boys right now; it came highly recommended, and is currently flooring me for the second time through.
Listening to a politically charged album just after the State of the Union address (and Sen. Jim Webb’s response) does make for some strange mental dissonance, though.
Even better, the NYT’s response to the SOTU address? Print the lyrics to a brand new Randy Newman song:

Hot damn.
