My Take
Loudon Wainwright III is the kind of songwriter I keep coming back to. Twenty-six studio albums is not a discography, it is a diary kept in public, and the fact that a song about a dead skunk could become a hit tells you everything about his gift for finding the comic and the tragic in the same breath. He is an actor too, but for me the real performance is the unguarded honesty of a man, a guitar, and a wry observation. He never traded on flash. His work rewards patience, and I respect a long career built on candor rather than spectacle.
