<< This is so funny - part of why I didn't run too fast to get his music is because his dad doesn't do much for me (but I'm considering giving him another listen now ;-) So much of what I hear in the background drones in through one ear and out the other but Rufus took my breath away immediately - I was just transfixed. I love his voice and music - it is different but very compelling to me - maybe it's all those weird minor notes. I think he is tremendously original.>> Well Kakki, Include me out! I think he has got talent - BUT I find his voice virtually unlistenable - so much vibrato that he makes Aaron Neville sound like Lou Reed. The Wainwright/McGarrigle sprog I'm much more interested in is Martha Wainwright: I haven't heard much of her, but her songwriting contribution to The McGarrigle Hour, Year Of The Dragon, is the highlight of the set, which is saying a lot. Oh, and I think their Dad is wonderful! Azeem in London
