Loudon Wainwright III - Thanksgiving (live) 

Recorded for the LP Therapy in 1989, I prefer this live version. Sometimes humorous, sometimes melancholy. Happy Thanksgiving.

Loudon Wainwright III ‎– A Live One (1979) | ZERO G Sounds

Loudon Wainwright II A Live One 1979 - ZEROSOUNDS

"A Live One"is a live album by American singer-songwriter Loudon Wainwright III. The live performances included on the album were recorded on a tour of the British Isles in 1976 and at McCabe's in Los Angeles in 1978. It was released in 1979 on Rounder Records. 

His first completely live album, it was released during the longest hiatus between studio albums so far in his career (five years): his farewell to the 1970s (1978's "Final Exam") and his self-reinvention on 1983's "Fame and Wealth". Furthermore, since the track list relies on early LPs such as "Attempted Mustache", the gap between his adjacent studio albums seems all the wider.

Wainwright is well served by this collection of samples of his live work, which also doubles as the best of his 70s material, with songs like "Whatever Happened to Us," "Nocturnal Stumblebutt," and "Clockwork Chartreuse."

LOUDON WAINWRIGHT III

Loudon Wainwright -Years in The Making

Big fan of the Wainwright clan and perhaps prefer the extraordinary work of Martha but have quite a lot of Rufus too. Their dad has written a memoir biog book which should make a good read [came out last year so needs another plug I reckon] and has compiled a new collection of songs too check it all out here:
