Land of Dreams is the eighth studio album by Randy Newman. Released in 1988, the album features vignettes of his childhood in New Orleans. The title refers to a nickname for New Orleans in the Dixieland standard "Basin Street Blues", quoted in the opening track, "Dixie Flyer".
Two music videos filmed to support the album, for "It's Money That Matters" and "Falling in Love", feature Newman and model Laura Howard, and serve as prequel and sequel to the video for "I Love L.A.".
