biography
  • It was as if this guy Peel made a career for me', said Loudon Wainwright III, of his first trip to the UK in 1971. Loudon credited much of his UK success to Mr Peel, saying 'He was a very important radio disc jockey_ the grand old man of Radio One. And he heard the first two albums and loved them.' Wainwright became a singer/songwriter in the late 60s, singing honest, funny folk songs. Releases include the imaginatively-titled 'Album I' (1970), 'Album II' (1971) and 'Album III' (1972). Immensely prolific, Wainwright has churned out over 20 albums so far, not to mention a son and a daughter, Rufus and Martha, both of whom have gone on to trouble the UK chart with their own respective takes on the singer-songwriter genre.<BR/><blockquote>"On one particular day at Peel Acres, Louden came up, and we managed to soundcheck in about two seconds - it was just one microphone and a guitar. So whilst we were waiting for John to arrive, we all took a dip in John's pool.<BR/>"When stuff like that happens, it really calms the artist and by the time they're ready to perform they are completely relaxed, which, more often than not, comes through on the session."</blockquote>
