This is a powerful and personal body of work by a man who lets us into his innermost thoughts and self doubts. His honesty and humility endears him to us and allows us to identify with our own concerns. His childhood appears to have created a sceptical view of his father's relationship with his mother. His own, almost oedipal relationship with his mother and problematic relationship with his father is captured so well metaphorically in 'The Between' track. The 'Father and Son' track worries that he is in the process of passing these family traits down to his own son. Relationship concerns are also highlighted in 'Songs about you'. In the song he claims to have put this woman out of his mind, we can all see however that he is still in love with her. The thing that stands in the way of their relationship is recorded in the track 'Four and Ten'. Its all here for us to see. I think we can all, at some level, feel deeply and identify with the words and feelings of a poet who can write songs of this quality and intensity. In the end though... I guess a man is just a 'Handful of dust'

I first saw Loudon Wainwright III on a Jasper Carrott programme, and bought this as a result.
It's kind of an odd mix, from the funny to the near-tragic. Listen to "Hitting You", and tell me it's not one of the most desperate songs you've ever heard.
But then listen to "Talking New Bob Dylan" - it is, without doubt, the best Bob Dylan song that Bob Dylan never wrote.
An overlooked gem.

They say men read women's magazines to find out what they are really thinking. "History" performs the same function the other way round. Here we are in all our doubt and vulnerability. Occasionally brash or sarcastic but mostly hiding our uncertainties.
This is the first LWIII album I bought and is my favourit, with "Men", if you hadn't guessed, my favouite track.
