Loudon Wainwright III

“Loudon Live in London” was recorded during a residency at Nell’s Jazz and Blues in London in 2024. It finds Loudon Wainwright III in top form, covering favourites, five brand-new songs and working an appreciative crowd in his familiar chatty and self-deprecating form.

Lifetime Achievement is Loudon Wainwright III’s first album of new original songs since 2014’s Haven’t Got The Blues Yet. It’s a wonderful delight from start to finish.

Loudon Wainwright III has announced the release of Lifetime Achievement, his first album of new original songs since 2014’s Haven’t Got The Blues Yet. Watch the accompanying video to his lead single ‘Town & Country’.

Loudon Wainwright III demonstrates his ability to find the emotional core at the heart of these songs and deliver it with style and grace like the true rascal he is.

Our Song of the Day is a premiere from Daphne Lee Martin. She performs a great cover ‘Reciprocity’, a much overlooked song by Loudon Wainwright III. Along with guest vocals from Eric Michael Lichter they certainly breathe new life into it. This is one of a series of stand alone covers, she is set to release this spring.

Paul continues his review of Cambridge Folk Festival taking in The Shires, The Full English, Seth Lakeman, Loudon Wainwright III and Rosanne Cash.

Undimmed by age, which naturally enough he has in his withering gaze, I Haven’t Got The Blues (Yet) finds Loudon in tip-top form as he documents the injustices and irritations of life and love.
