About this title

Synopsis

In the late 1960s, Loudon Wainwright III established himself as a determinedly independent talent. Then, at the age of 25, in 1972 he wrote a song about a dead skunk and leapt from critic s darling to popular success, since then he has recorded twenty-seven albums, won a Grammy Award and sold-out the London Palladium.

As plain-speaking on the page as in his songs, Wainwright lays everything bare in this hilarious and heartfelt memoir of music and family. His lyrics adorn and inform the text, along with extracts from the brilliant work of his father esteemed Life magazine columnist Loudon Wainwright, Jr.
