Format:Audio CD
To borrow a phrase from John Cusack's character from "High Fidelity" I sometimes want music I can ignore. This pretty much sums up all of Loudon's music for me. I can always have it playing in the background and tune in when I feel like it. It seeps into my head and pretty soon I realize I have been listening to some amazing songs. I discovered Loudon with "Last Man on Earth" and have been hooked since. I keep hoping others will catch on to his music and when I heard about this project I was nervous. Will he try to be too commercial? Will this become another one of those "Ally McBeal" moments? (You know what I mean...the whist full walk into the ending credits while a song plays and the characters take turns looking into the camera so we can all learn the episode's lessons.) But I should not have worried. Turns out he has been making music that could always be played during the ending credits but the difference is that his words will teach you what the actors cannot.
"You Can't Fail Me Now" may be just about the best song I have heard in some time. So honest it hurts. "Daughter" has been one my favorites for sometime. How does a man who write such amazing melodies toil in relative obscurity?
Others have written more poetically about the songs and the CD as a whole. All I can add it this...put on the CD, do some cleaning or have some tea. Maybe clean the garage or sit by a fire and let the music just play. Pretty soon you tune in and realize you were not ignoring this music because Loudon will not be ignored. He will find his way into your soul because he is sharing so much of his. As for this being a soundtrack...I think his music has always been a soundtrack. First for his life...then for ours. Get this CD, get hooked and don't ignore him any longer.

I found this album after searching for the song at the end of the movie "Knocked Up" ("Daughter", playing during the credits). I bought the album blind, and every song is great (imho). Since then I've heard about Rufus and Martha, and there are several good articles on the web about the album. Kind of folksy, kind of rock. Great lyrics.

"Daughter," from the closing credits in "Knocked Up," is so good that iTunes won't sell it as a single off of this album (the rest of the album is available for purchase at .99 per track...but you won't want it without "Daughter," trust me!).
Although it's true that "Daughter" is worth the price of admission by itself, the rest of the album isn't a throwaway: Wainwright and producer Joe Henry have put together a fine album of light, breezy folk masquerading as the soundtrack to an equally dandy film. Filmgoers won't be familiar with Wainwright (and I'd only listened to his son, Rufus, before picking this disc up), but they won't be disappointed with this album. I don't think I'll be able to go into a coffee shop in the next couple of months and not hear this CD in the background. And that's a good thing.

Love this artist!
Loved the movie and was thrilled when I found out Louden Wainwright III was the composer! Check out "IWIWAL"! Funny!

This album is `pregnant with emotion'...
If you've read my recently posted review of `Knocked Up' you'll know that I cried (yes, CRIED) at the end of the film when the song `Daughter' started to play. Read more

Forgettable
This works well as soundtrack music, as it just plays in the background and it's completely forgettable, so that way you can concentrate on what's happening in the movie. Read more

A soundtrack that actually outshines the movie
Sometimes it's difficult to rate a genre of music that I don't normally listen to. But be rest assured, the quality of musicianship on Strange Weirdos is unmatched. Read more
