Loudon Wainwright III, the son of esteemed Life magazine
columnist Loudon Wainwright Jr., is the patriarch of one of
America's great musical families. He is the former husband of
Kate McGarrigle and Suzzy Roche, and father of Rufus
Wainwright, Martha Wainwright, Lucy Wainwright Roche,
and Lexie Kelly Wainwright. With a career spanning more
than four decades, Wainwright has established himself as one
of the most enduring singer-songwriters who emerged from
the late 1960s. Not only does he perform regularly across
America and in Europe, but he is a sought after actor, having
appeared in many movies and TV series.
There is probably no singer-songwriter who has so
blatantly inserted himself into his songs. The songs can be
laugh-out-loud funny, but they also can cut to the bone. In his new memoir, Liner Notes, Wainwright details the family history his lyrics have
referenced and the fractured relationships among generations:
the alcoholism, the infidelities, the competitiveness—as well
as the closeness, the successes, and the joy. Wainwright
reflects on the experiences that have influenced his work,
including boarding school, the music business, swimming,
macrobiotics, sex, incarceration, and something he calls Sir
Walter Raleigh Syndrome.
