Good Old Boys is singer-songwriter Randy Newman's fourth studio album, released September 10, 1974 on Reprise Records. It was Newman's first album to obtain major commercial success, peaking at No. 36 on the Billboard 200. Good Old Boys was initially envisioned as a concept album about a character named Johnny Cutler, an everyman of the Deep South.

Newman's many honors include six Grammys, three Emmys, and two Academy Awards. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2002 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013 — the same year he was given an Ivor Novello PRS for Music Special International Award. More recently, Newman was presented with a PEN New England Song Lyrics of Literary Excellence Award in June 2014.

In addition to his solo recordings and regular international touring, Newman began composing and scoring for films in the 1980s. The list of movies he has worked on since then includes The Natural, Awakenings, Ragtime, all four Toy Story pictures, Monsters Inc. and Monsters University, Seabiscuit, James and the Giant Peach, A Bug's Life, and Meyerowitz Stories.
