CD Description
'Recovery' is the twenty third album from legendary singer/songwriter Loudon Wainwright III. After producer Joe Henry went digging through old Wainwright recordings, the pair decided to revisit some of Wainwright's early stripped back acoustic songs, this time re-arranging them for a full band and breathing new life into such classics as 'The Man Who Wouldn't Cry' and 'Motel Blues'.
Customer Reviews
Old friends revisited
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.

Same old same old.
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!
Older and a little wiser self-review
A sublime self-review for the most part... and a good intro for the novice.
