Free Music Notes for Martha Wainwright
Free Music Review: Beautiful Album
Hit: 5 Stars
Every song on this album is just absloutley beautiful. It's a folk-rock album...kind of in a way, it's so many things rolled into one, it's just a beautiful CD that I don't think we'll be seeing anything like anytime soon. It doesn't have a lot of instruments and her voice is in full view, as well as her haunting lyrics. With lyrics such as the ones on 'This Life': 'I got the gun for my head/Wounds the brain,free instead', or those on 'Who Was I Kidding': 'Met the pain before dawn/Should never thought it would or could be easy/Been inclined to carry on/Hold my hard head and watch you walk out on me/See the tears they fall down on my hard head/Forevermore'. Her lyrics are just great, her music is beautiful. I could go on and on. I'm just telling you that you should definitley buy this awesome album!
Martha Wainwright Poster
With her debut album appearing at the age of 28, Martha Wainwright has lived in a musical world since she was born. She posses a voice with timbres similar to her brother, Rufus, and to her mother and aunt, Kate & Anna McGarrigle. She also has a way of stretching syllables out for reasons at once musical and textual, very much like her father, Loudon Wainwright, from whom she's also inherited a bold autobiographical stance, albeit couched in her own particular poetics. A bracing confidence informs these thirteen songs, from the bright shiny pop of "G.P.T." and "The Maker" (with the unmistakable voice of Rufus on backup vocals) to the fragile balladry of "Whither Must I Wander." Martha Wainwright continues the family tradition of audacious debuts. -- David GreenbergerMartha Wainwright comes from a family that some would call "musical royalty." She is the daughter of Kate McGarrigle and Loudon Wainwright III, and sister of Rufus Wainwright, yet she writes and sings with a style completely her own. After several tours as opener and band-mate for Rufus Wainwright, and appearances on albums by Rufus, the McGarrigles, Gordon Gano (Violent Femmes) and Linda Thompson, Martha made her own bold statement with the release of her EP BMFA earlier this year. The EP garnered rave reviews: The London Times called it a "tour de force" while The New York Times named it "a gorgeous teaser" to her forthcoming full-length debut. The release of that self-titled debut album takes things to a whole new level. An album of contrasts, Martha Wainwright features tracks filled with raw, fiery, passionate energy alongside unforgettable, hauntingly beautiful ballads.
