Like Daughter Like Father

Last week, singer/songwriter Martha Wainwright released her second disk (called Martha Wainwright, go figure), which is already gathering critical acclaim and has been added to Jim Blum’s playlist. This week, her father, Loudon Wainwright III, is out with Here Come the Choppers, another collection of wry songs that take a pointed look at modern life. Martha is Loudon’s daughter by Kate McGarrigle and the brother of Rufus, with whom she sometimes tours and who was nominated for a Juno for last year’s Want Two.
