5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Album, July 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: More Love Songs (Audio CD)

If you love Loudon, you will love, adore, cherish this album. Over the years, it has given me many hours of happiness, laughter, humming, solace, and warmth. Buy it; if you're a LWIII fan, you will NOT regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loudon has staying power, September 22, 2003

This review is from: More Love Songs (Audio CD)

From Woodstock as a Bob Dylan look-alike until now, the years haven't hurt him. Live or on CD his haunting songs stay with us. This one is among the most haunting. But of course, I'm prejudiced. I've sat in the audience of many of his performances in major US cities with a hundred other of his fans wondering why there weren't more (but glad there weren't for personal, selfish reasons). His audiences comprise a surprising span of old fogies such as myself and young people who think they discovered him.

Loudon's as good on this one as he gets (and that's good).

4.0 out of 5 stars My favourite LWIII album, December 17, 1999

By 

MCMLXVII (London, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: More Love Songs (Audio CD)

This was the first Loudon Wainwright album I heard, and it's still my favourite. The lyrics are bittersweet and often hilarious, the music is good if simple, and the bassline on the first track (Hard Day on the Planet) is great.

Other LWIII albums can get a bit noisy, and the lyrics a little too self-obsessed, but this one strikes a good balance. Very few duff songs.
