The Randy Newman Songbook Vol. 1 is the eleventh studio and first songbook album by Randy Newman and contains newly recorded, stripped-down versions of some of Newman's best-known songs, performed by Randy Newman singing and playing the piano without accompaniment.
The album spans a 33-year period, from early songs like "I Think It's Going to Rain Today" and "Living Without You" to "The World Isn't Fair" from his Bad Love album (1999). Also included are three instrumental extracts from his film scores.[2][3]
