Wainwright Iii,Loudon Loudon Wainwright Iii / Album Ii CD

The first two classic albums by renowned singer/ songwriter Loudon Wainwright III. Originally released on Atlantic Records from 1970 and 1971. Includes the bonus track - 'Drinking Song'. Billed as the new Bob Dylan, but then everybody with a guitar and their own songs was branded as the new Bob Dylan back then, Wainwright was a unique storyteller as these two albums attest. A Singer/Songwriter, Actor (most remembered for his TV appearances in MASH) and humourist as we find in songs such as 'Glad To See You've Got Religion' and his light hearted 'Bruno's Place', Wainwright remains an enormously popular touring artist, he's also recently released his 31st album. The father of Rufus, Martha and Lucy Wainwright Roche, all entertainers in their own right, Loudon Wainwright's skill at tale telling from school days to on-the-road survivalism on 'Motel Blues' and everyday relationship management is witty and precise, a joy to behold.
