Sail Away (Randy Newman Album)

"High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sail Away is a 1972 album by Randy Newman. In 2003, the album was ranked number 321 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. The album stands as a prime example of Newman's ability with musical satire. The title track takes the form of a pitch from a slave trader in Africa. ""Political Science"" foresees America making the world a better place through the nuclear annihilation of almost everyone else. ""God's Song"" uses gospel forms to question the idea of a benevolent creator. ""He Gives Us All His Love"" is a bittersweet and sparsely-arranged hymn about religious faith which may be earnest or tongue-in-cheek."
