Loudon Wainwright III - Album III

Loudon Wainwright III is probably better-known these days to the mass audience for his acting turns, with small parts in movies like Elizabethtown and Big Fish, and as divorced father Hal Karp in the great short-lived TV series Undeclared. He also appeared as the 'singing surgeon' Captain Spaulding on several episodes of M*A*S*H. But he's got a devoted cult audience as a songwriter, as a satirical bard who leeringly plucks at sacred cows. His children, Rufus Wainwright and Martha Wainwright, have also become well-known singers.

Wainwright's style spans from satire to sincere, and is a polished songwriter. With Album III in 1972, he scored a minor hit with Dead Skunk (In The Middle of the Road)
