Our Take

Loudon Wainwright III is back with his latest album, "Years In The Making," and let me tell you, it’s been well worth the wait. The folk legend has been in the industry for decades, and his experience shines through in this collection of songs.

From the moment you press play, you’re greeted with Wainwright’s signature wit and charm. Tracks like "The Acid Song" and "I Knew Your Mother" showcase his storytelling prowess, while songs like "Damn This Town" and "It Ain’t Gaza" demonstrate his ability to blend political commentary with catchy melodies.

Wainwright’s voice may not be for everyone - think Bob Dylan meets Tom Waits after a night out on the town - but his unique vocal delivery adds a layer of authenticity to each track. And let’s not forget the musicianship on display here. The instrumentation is top-notch, with everything from banjos to trumpets making an appearance.

But what really sets "Years In The Making" apart is its honesty. Wainwright lays bare his emotions in each song, drawing the listener in with every heartfelt lyric. Whether he’s reflecting on love lost or poking fun at himself, there’s a rawness to his music that is impossible to ignore.

In conclusion, "Years In The Making" is a true masterpiece from a seasoned pro. If you’re a fan of folk music with a twist, do yourself a favor and give this album a listen. Loudon Wainwright III may be getting on in years, but his music is as fresh and exciting as ever.

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.
