Our Take

Rufus Wainwright, the eccentric troubadour with a voice like melted butter, has taken on quite the challenge with his latest release "Rufus Does Judy at Capitol Studios." Paying homage to the legendary Judy Garland, Wainwright dives headfirst into her iconic live album from 1961, "Judy at Carnegie Hall." The result? A whimsical, theatrical romp through some of Garland's most beloved songs.

From the moment Wainwright's velvety vocals hit your eardrums, you're transported to a bygone era of grandeur and showmanship. His lush orchestral arrangements, complete with sweeping strings and shimmering brass, serve as the perfect backdrop for his emotive delivery. Tracks like "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart" and "The Man That Got Away" showcase his vocal prowess and magnetic stage presence.

But it's not all roses and rainbows on "Rufus Does Judy." Wainwright's penchant for dramatic flair occasionally veers into the realm of overindulgence, with some tracks feeling a tad bit too theatrical for their own good. At times, it feels like he's trying a bit too hard to capture the magic of Garland's original performances, instead of putting his own unique spin on them.

Overall, "Rufus Does Judy at Capitol Studios" is a delightful tribute to a musical icon, filled with moments of sheer brilliance and a few missteps along the way. Wainwright's love for Garland shines through in every note, making this album a must-listen for fans of both artists. So grab your sequins and feather boas, and let Rufus take you on a wild, wonderful journey through the enchanting world of Judy Garland.
