★★★
LOUDON WAINWRIGHT has been a highly regarded figure in singer-songwriter circles ever since his stunning debut album first saw the light of day in 1970.
The British music press were engaged in a fairly futile quest to discover “the new Bob Dylan” at the time and Wainwright was a prime contender for this accolade, blessed with a sardonic wit which set him apart from many of his contemporaries in the field.
