DESCRIPTION:

This CD features classic performances by WAINWRIGHT,LOUDON III.
For nearly forty years Loudon Wainwright III has been one of Americas most cherished music icons. His legendary wit and satirical genius have expanded his cultural reach from troubadour to silver screen regular. With his 2008 album Recovery he reaches back into the past and profoundly reclaims many of his most classic songs. Produced by Joe Henry, the project came about while the two were digging through some of Loudons older albums. After listening, Loudon and Joe saw that the quality and breadth of the tunes were undiminished and decided to rework the songs a team of studio heavyweights to add color to the previously spare material. On Recovery, classics like School Days, The Man Who Couldnt Cry and Motel Blues are fully flowered by veterans Greg Leisz, Patrick Warren, David Piltch and Jay Bellerose. A rare document of the changes nearly four decades can bring, Recovery reinterprets songs Loudon first composed and performed in his early twenties.
