Is he Barry Mannilow in disguise?

How dare you slur the great Bazzer by comparing him to Rufus W - Check out sis Martha for a bit of her dad's attitude. By the way Green on Red's reunion gig last night at London Astoria - Dan Stuart looked like a demented cross between Jack Nicholson and Loudon III (especially the gurning!)

I got Want for crimbo and was surprised how middle of the road/big band it is. I was expecting some of his folk roots to shine through. Alas, not.

Try the stuff by his mum and aunt Kate and Anne McGarrigle (especially Dancer With Bruised Knees) also there is a McGarrigle/Wainwright family album the name of which escapes me at the moment.
My boss bought a RW cd at the airport on his way out to Italy a few months ago, he played it in the office once and we have since banned it!

Correct me if I'm mistaken but the McGarrigle/Wainwright family album is called 'The McGarrigle Hour'.
They also brought out 'The McGarrigle Christmas Hour' last year.
DWBK is indeed a bit of a classic, although their first, self titled album, is the best place to start IMO.
I agree that young Rufus is highly over rated. If you're into McGarrigles/Loudon III folk type stuff then I'd avoid like the plague! However if you like Elton Bog or Scissor Sisters then maybe he's the boy for you.
