Randy Goodrum is a songwriter who has penned standards and numerous major hits in all areas, among them for artists like Steve Perry, Chicago, Toto, Christopher Cross, Russ Taff, Bobby Caldwell, Michael McDonald, Al Jarreau, David Pack, Bill LaBounty and just recently he was a big part of Steve Lukather latest album 'Ever Changing Times'.

The album 'Scene 29' is superbly crafted, loaded with original, sophisticated, catchy songs, with subtle harmonies and interesting melodic hooks. The musical concept is totally new, yet slightly familiar to anyone into the Steely Dan sound, as the songs build on a similar formula with complex jazz-influenced chord structures that are pleasant to the ear with unexpected musical twists, as well as apt, fun and innovative lyrics. Further, the groove is mature and as usual Jay Graydon plays his guitar with elegant and intelligent accuracy.
