Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
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 Greenberger

Album Description
This latest edition features three new tracks including a debut with her brother Rufus.

Martha 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the best cd on earth!, 6 Dec 2005
I absolutely adore this album. It's a difficult one to pigeon hole but its influences being a mixture of contemporary blues, country, folk, and jazz are very clear but in a very individual and unique package. Quite different from her brother's, father's, mother's and aunt's music, having created something completely of her own in every way. It's great and I think that most people would struggle to dislike it. It's not the happiest album in the world, but a very colourful and rich one nonetheless.

5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS ALBUM!, 6 Dec 2005
This is one of those albums that grabs your attention and holds it, from start to finish.
Martha sounds fantastic and has a very talented band behind her.
There isn't a bad track on this album.
It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will make you think...
Hard to explain, but it's something really special. Trust me.
Watch out for Martha on tour in 2006!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, 15 Nov 2005
By A Customer
I saw Martha Wainwright perform in London recently and it was a brilliant gig. She sang the bonus tracks that appear on this album with such perfection. But all the songs on this album are all just perfect. The original tracks on the album are wonderful and I cannot find fault in them. BMFA is superb and will have you singing along for hours! Far Away is an idyllic song with beautiful lyrics. Martha Wainwright has one of those completely unique sounds that will mesmerise you and draw you in to her world.
