Our Take

Loudon Wainwright III may be entering his golden years, but his latest album "Lifetime Achievement" proves that this old dog still has plenty of tricks up his sleeve. From the opening track, it's clear that this veteran singer-songwriter hasn't lost any of his trademark wit or charm.

Wainwright's lyrics are as sharp and incisive as ever, tackling topics ranging from love and loss to politics and the passage of time. His distinctive voice, with its gravelly cadence and wry delivery, adds an extra layer of depth to each song, drawing listeners in and keeping them hooked from start to finish.

Musically, "Lifetime Achievement" is a masterclass in folk storytelling. Wainwright's intricate guitar work is complemented by lush arrangements that showcase his talents as a composer and arranger. Tracks like "Old Man Blues" and "The Spider and the Fly" brim with a sense of nostalgia and longing, while more upbeat numbers like "Rocking Man" and "I Knew Your Mother" inject a dose of energy and playfulness into the mix.

Overall, "Lifetime Achievement" is a testament to Wainwright's enduring talent and creativity. With this album, he proves once again why he's considered a true legend in the world of folk music. So kick back, pour yourself a glass of whiskey, and let Loudon Wainwright III take you on a journey through his extraordinary musical career. Trust us, you won't regret it.

About the artist

Loudon Wainwright III

Loudon Wainwright III may not be a household name, but in the world of folk rock, he's a bona fide legend. The singer-songwriter extraordinaire has been belting out introspective tunes and biting wit since the 1960s, earning critical acclaim and a devoted cult following along the way. Known for his clever lyrics and wry sense of humour, Wainwright's music is a delightful blend of folk, rock, and a healthy dose of sarcasm. His songs touch on everything from love and heartbreak to family dynamics and growing old disgracefully, all with a healthy dose of self-deprecation and wit. Wainwright's dynamic live performances are a sight to behold, with his charismatic stage presence and sharp tongue keeping audiences on their toes. Whether he's strumming his guitar, tickling the ivories, or regaling the crowd with hilarious anecdotes, Loudon Wainwright III is a true showman. Having released over 20 albums in his storied career, Wainwright's discography is a treasure trove of musical gems, each one showcasing his unique blend of folk storytelling and rock 'n' roll attitude. And with a Grammy Award under his belt and a daughter who's following in his musical footsteps (you may have heard of Rufus Wainwright), it's clear that talent runs in the family. So if you're in the mood for some thought-provoking lyrics, catchy melodies, and a healthy dose of snark, look no further than Loudon Wainwright III. He may not be topping the charts, but he's certainly winning hearts – and ears – with his distinctive brand of folk rock brilliance.
