Born Again is the sixth studio album by American musician Randy Newman.[2] The album was released in August 1979, to little sales and mostly positive reviews, which surprised Newman. Newman went on to say that Born Again was the strangest album that he had ever done.[3] The album cover features Randy Newman in a business office, wearing face makeup (an obvious parody of Kiss), with dollar signs painted over his eyes, appearing to poke fun at the commercialization of rock music.
