- Little Criminals ist das sechste Album des amerikanischen Musikers Randy Newman. Es erschien im September 1977 bei Reprise. Das Album beinhaltet zahlreiche politische und mitunter auch zynische Texte, wie etwa den kontrovers diskutierten Song Short People. Die Musik des Albums ist von Newmans Klavierspiel und Orchesterarrangements bestimmt. Das von und produzierte Album erreichte Platz 9 der Billboardcharts und ist somit Newmans größter kommerzieller Erfolg. Die Kritiken für das Album fielen gut aus. So verteilte Allmusic dreieinhalb von fünf möglichen Sternen. Der Musikkritiker Robert Christgau hingegen vergab die Schulnote 2+, merkte aber an, dass Newmans Songs auf Little Criminals nicht mit seinen besten Stücken mithalten können. Unter den Studiomusikern befanden sich alle damaligen Mitglieder der Band The Eagles (de)
- Little Criminals is a 1977 album by Randy Newman. Like most of Newman's work, the album eschews traditional pop-music themes ("I'll Be Home" is the only love song on the album) in favor of musical story-telling, often featuring quirky characters and cynical views. The first song on the album – "Short People" – became a hit single in its own right. The album itself peaked at #9 on the US Billboard 200 chart, Newman's highest-charting album to date. Some of the instrumental work and backing vocals on the album are performed by members of the Eagles. In particular, Glenn Frey played guitar on two tracks, Joe Walsh played guitar on three tracks, and Don Henley and Tim Schmit sang background vocals on one track each. Frey and J. D. Souther, who had earlier been the duo Longbranch Pennywhistle, sang background vocals on three tracks. Newman wrote, conducted and played keyboards on all tracks. Synthesizers were programmed by Michael Boddicker. In September 1977 the British music magazine NME published the following interview with Newman talking sardonically about his then new release: "There's one song about a child murderer," Newman deadpans. "That's fairly optimistic. Maybe. There's one called 'Jolly Coppers on Parade' which isn't an absolutely anti-police song. Maybe it's even a fascist song. I didn't notice at the time. There's also one about me as a cowboy called 'Rider in the Rain'. I think it's ridiculous. The Eagles are on there. That's what's good about it. There's also this song 'Short People'. It's purely a joke. I like other ones on the album better but the audiences go for that one." It placed 8th in the 1977 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll, and in 2000 it was voted number 468 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums. The song "Baltimore" was covered by Nina Simone, Nils Lofgren, The Tamlins, David Gray, Billy Mackenzie, Lianne La Havas, Jazmine Sullivan, Mink Stole, Portuguese band Coldfinger and . "In Germany Before the War" was covered by British band Diesel Park West on their covers album "God Only Knows" in 1992. The song "I'll Be Home", meanwhile, had been written by Newman years previously, and was originally recorded in 1970 by Harry Nilsson on his album Nilsson Sings Newman. (en)
- Little Criminals (1977) est le cinquième album studio de l'auteur-compositeur-interprète américain de rock Randy Newman. Randy Newman a bénéficié de l'aide de plusieurs musiciens de renom tels que Ry Cooder, Jim Keltner, Glenn Frey, Don Henley et Joe Walsh, les trois derniers nommés étaient membres du groupe The Eagles. L'album a été un succès commercial, devenant 9e au classement du Billboard 200. La chanson Short People a été aussi un succès commercial, atteignant le 2e rang au Billboard. Beaucoup n'avaient pas compris que la moquerie sur les personnes de petite taille était à prendre au second degré, comme d'habitude avec Randy Newman. Dans ce contexte, short people représentait les gens à courte vue. L'accompagnement au chant est fourni par Glen Frey, J.D. Souther et Tim Schmidt. (fr)

- Little Criminals is een album uit 1977 van de Amerikaanse singer-songwriter Randy Newman. Opvallend is dat The Eagles en hun entourage een instrumentale en vocale bijdrage leveren aan dit album. Het is Newmans vijfde studioalbum. Bekendste nummer op het album is openingstrack Short People, een nummer waarin Newman discriminatie op de hak neemt, zoals in de regel "They got little hands and little eyes and they walk around tellin' great big lies". Het nummer schiep een controverse rondom de zanger, omdat veel Amerikanen de door hem beoogde ironie niet begrepen. (nl)
