Folk singer Loudon Wainwright III has been plumbing the pathos of white privilege since his 1970 debut, when he was proclaimed one of the "new" Bob Dylans. The forthright titles of his confessional, self-mocking, and often hilarious tunes telegraph his favorite themes: divorce ("Your Mother and I," "Unhappy Anniversary"), parenthood ("Bein' a Dad," "Daughter"), alcohol ("White Winos," "Drinking Song"), and mortality ("Double Lifetime," "My Meds"). He chronicles the eternal upper-middle-class struggle of life and death in simple tunes and lyrics as clear as Strunk & White.
