Mr. Wainwright has proved to be far and away the most candid diarist among the singer-songwriters who . . . brought confessional poetry into popular song.

As good as he’s ever been. Almost 40 years into his recording career, he has not only retained his sharpness of wit but has also learned to cut with greater skill.

For the past 52 years, Loudon Wainwright III has carved out a distinguished career as one of the most original singer-songwriters, a six-string diarist whose songs are by turns tongue-in-cheek, tender, sarcastic, and heart-wrenching, and always deeply personal. Along the way, he has released more than 20 albums, won a Grammy, acted in film and on TV, and had his songs recorded by such artists as Johnny Cash, Mose Allison, Bonnie Raitt, and his son, Rufus Wainwright.

In October 2020, Wainwright released the acclaimed record I’d Rather Lead a Band, on which he sings classic songs from the 1920s and ’30s with Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks. During the pandemic, Wainwright has produced several virtual shows, including The Special Relationship, presented by the Royal Albert Hall, and The Great Unknown, his musical tribute to the late George Gerdes.
