Rufus Wainwright: Going to a Town

I’ve always liked the idea of Rufus Wainwright. I’ve loved his parents for over thirty years. I think his version of King of the Road, with the wonderful Teddy Thompson, on the wonderful soundtrack of that absolutely wonderful film Brokeback Mountain is just about as cool as that song will ever get. I admire and envy a man who can dedicate a year of his life to recreating Judy’s Carnegie Hall gig…

But…

I’ve never been able to stand his voice.

Until now.
