Album Review

Wainwright's directly autobiographical songs are both brutally honest and extremely funny. Usually he plays alone, but here he gets a full folk/rock backup, which brings out the pop implications of his music. His fluke hit "Dead Skunk" is here, and so is "Red Guitar," about the destruction of one.

Customer Reviews

Great, Funny CD.

Loudon Wainwright is not only a great artist, but he is also extremely funny. All of his songs are great and they are hysterical. His accidental hit "Dead Skunk" is on here along with other greats. If you are just looking to buy a song or 2, I recommend "B Side", "Dead Skunk", "Drinking Song" and "Smokey Joe's Cafe." Mr. Wainwright didn't write "Smokey Joe's cafe but it is still great. All of the songs on this album are great though. those are just my personal favorites.

5 stars

My Dad had this album in 1972 when I was 8 years old. This record grew on me then and has stuck with me since then. "Say that you love me" GREAT song!! "Red Guitar" Great song!! "Drinking Song" Great song!! Every song is good in its own way. This is coming from a guy who listens to Punk Rock & Rock -n- Roll. Worth every dollar.

I believe it was Dr Freud who said there is no such thing as an "accident" . . . . .
