Same old same old. November 2, 2008 As much as I am a big fan, I was a bit disappointed. The songs were great tracks in their day, but it seems to me like this newest album lacks a little umph! I continue to wait for new material..........The previous album was great!
Old friends revisited October 5, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The thing is that Loudon Wainwright III had, and still has, an ability to touch on feelings way before time.
I have all the tracks on this CD on vinyl, bought years and years ago. They were delivered in Loudon's young voice, at least an octave higher, free of the ageing process. Then, while people older than me might have thought the songs pretentious, formed by someone who couldn't have had the experience to know what he wrote about, they hit the spot for me.
Hearing these old friends again, in his grown up voice, brings new resonance to the collection. In fact, it reminds me that not only did Loudon know what he was singing about, he knew it well. This collection is a vindication of his authenticity.

A sublime self-review for the most part... and a good intro for the novice.
