Wainwright,loudon Iii - Haven't Got The Blues (yet) - Music CD

2014 release, the 26th album in the long and illustrious career of Loudon Wainwright III. In HGTB(Y) he broadens his scope with a 14-song, genre-bounding set - 'electricity,' he calls it - dealing with varied subject matter including depression, drinking, senior citizenship, gun control, heartbreak, pet ownership and New York City's arcane practice of alternate side-of-the-street parking. Producing HGTB(Y) was Wainwright's long time musical collaborator David Mansfield, who has backed him on numerous previous recordings as instrumentalist/arranger. Other top players grace HGTB(Y), and include ace banjoist Tony Trischka, saxophonist Steve Elson, drummer Sammy Merendino, bassist Tim Luntzel, and another longtime musical cohort, Chaim Tannenbaum, on background vocals.
