About this album
Sail Away is one of Randy Newman’s most admired albums, sharpening his reputation for dark humour, character sketches and plainspoken emotional bite. Released in 1972, it brought together satirical songs and uneasy ballads that turned American optimism, politics and self-deception inside out, with Newman’s piano-led arrangements keeping the focus on his lyric writing. Songs such as the title track, "Political Science" and "Burn On" became touchstones for his mix of wit and cynicism, helping establish him as one of rock’s most distinctive songwriters. The album’s enduring critical reputation has kept it central to his catalogue.
