Good Old Boys mérite qu’on s’interroge : Randy Newman est-il méchant ou très méchant ? D’autres que lui (à commencer par Bob Dylan) ont fustigé, avec semblable virulence, les travers de la société dans lesquels ils vivent (en l’occurrence, cette Amérique haïe et adorée). Mais on croyait discerner, au détour d’un vers, à l’aulne d’un refrain, un soupçon d’empathie pour ces héros de peu, ces pionniers du quotidien ordinaire.
Randy Newman, quant à lui, passe l’ensemble de son panorama au lance-flammes. Sous des airs de romance lyrique, « Birmingham » trace un portrait peu flatteur de la classe ouvrière sudiste. Et si « Louisiana 1927 » (qui sera récupéré par le peuple en colère de la Nouvelle-Orléans lors du passage de l’ouragan Katrina, en 2006), rappelle avec beaucoup de justesse l’époque désolée de la Grande Dépression (et surtout la totale incompétence des dirigeants politiques d’alors à y répondre), « Rednecks », comme son titre peut le laisser supposer, offre un instantané pitoyable sur le Sud pauvre, raciste et arriéré.
On ne déniche jamais que « Marie » pour éclairer du pâle rayon de soleil de la romance sans arrière pensée cette peinture au noir. Une vision passablement désespérée, sans concession ni illusion, qui fait par ailleurs qu’on apprécie à ce point l’expression décalée et jusqu’au-boutiste du chanteur.
Illuminé par la steel guitar d’Al Perkins, et accueillant (c’est une première) le bassiste Willie Weeks (compagnon de Bobby Womack), comme l’Orchestre Symphonique d’Atlanta (dirigé par le chanteur en personne), Good Old Boys se classera en fanfare – une nouveauté pour Newman – dans le Top 40 des charts américains.
