Loudon Wainwright IIIUnrequited
$20.00Call to Order
Mordant folk-pop where bruised wit and bare-nerve self-examination make the heartbreak feel lived-in rather than staged. Written during the collapse of his marriage to Kate McGarrigle in 1975, the title says it all: unrequited love, unrequited everything. 'The Hardy Boys at the Y' twists the knife with grim comedy, while 'Whatever Happened to Us' aches over spare acoustic guitar. Wainwright mines his own wreckage without blinking. Funny, painful, and over before you want it to be.
