Loudon Wainwright III - Album I

Review by Yoav Shapira

Album I by Loudon Wainwright III is a classic piece of work that showcases the singer-songwriter's talent and wit. Released in 1970, this album is a perfect blend of folk, country, and rock music that captures the essence of the time.

The album consists of eleven tracks, each of which is a unique story in itself. Loudon's lyrics are witty, humorous, and sometimes poignant, and his music is melodic and catchy. The opening track, "School Days," is a nostalgic ode to childhood, while "Uptown" is a satirical take on the urban lifestyle.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Motel Blues," a melancholic ballad about a man who has lost his love and is now living in a motel. Loudon's voice is raw and emotive, and the lyrics are heart-wrenching.

Album I also features some of Loudon's signature humor, such as in "Glad To See You Got Religion," a tongue-in-cheek take on the religious conversion. "Be Careful, There's a Baby in the House" is another humorous track, in which Loudon warns his friends to be careful around his newborn baby.

Comments

Eat your heart out Joan Baez!
Total talent open tuned in e key. Wonderful.
De Profundis.
A song I have known for 50 years and it still sends a shiver through me whenever I hear it. It is a sad song, but life can be sad at times.
Always difficult to listen to but I agree one of his best. Has lost none of its impact over the years.
I swear that no one has the rhythm or the timing of London Wainwright.
Can't understand why there's no traffic here. This came out a little late, but it's definitely 60s. Really a classic for our generation.
Thanks for posting.
Loudon Wainwright's Atlantic lps are so much darker than what he would do later. George Gerde influence, perhaps.
Mercurial.
One of his best songs.
Just back from the fringe in embra...train from Waverley to Reston...got the pangram on the NYT spelling bee...it was "midtown"...made me think of this song which I first heard about 50 years ago..."downtown is where it's at"...
