5.0 out of 5 stars About Time!, June 3, 2007

By	Jonathan Schaefer (los angeles, ca) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

T Shirt is new to me but I started this search a few years ago looking for FINAL EXAM and was so frustrated Loudon's earlier work was NOT released to CD yet.

Final Exam is everything you'd come to expect from an original songwriter with keen insight, a sense or irony, talent and the ability to laugh at himself and take those very faults and exploit them for all they're worth.

I hope he made a few bucks on this album and I hope he makes even more with this rerelease.
Although it didn't get me sober, it such as heck helped both before and after.

Yeah, his kids are talented but check out the original gene pool and take a dip - it's quite refreshing.

I rarely 5 star anything but out of gratitude this one deserves it - I was ready to buy the album, get the software and replace the needle on my turntable for this one. My original copy is DOGGED to death.

I hope I like T Shirt half as much as I like Final Exam - at any price, it's a steal of a deal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some Of Loudon Wainwright's Best Work Ever !, June 3, 2007

By	William E. Wallace (Salisbury, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Finally on CD in a nicely packaged 2 CD set. If you know Loudon from his 'Dead Skunk' or maybe his more current work you need to buy this. If you owned these on vinyl you need to buy this. If you never heard anything from LW III you should start here. I was unaware of the critical bashing that T Shirt took back in 1976. I bought it back then and I loved it, so who knew. Anyway he is in great form, his band and guests are in great form. Wonderful, wonderful stuff ! (not many artists can rhyme nembutal and alcohol and make it seem natural, LOL).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great start for future LW3 fans, July 9, 2009

A great cd to buy if you're just getting started with Loudon Wainwright III.

This double CD is an awesome deal and a good way to experience some great music.

P.S.
See LWIII if he comes near your city. Great performer and a very nice man. Love me some Loudon.
