Meet the Wainwrights
Radio 4 Extra, 2.30pm
The North American musical
dynasty is explored in
this 2004 documentary
presented by Nina Myskow.
Over the course of a month
she met Loudon Wainwright
III in uptown New York,
his daughter Martha, right, in
Brooklyn and his son Rufus
in London. The Wainwrights
are famous for writing
confessional songs about
each other that hold no
punches — though not
without humour. Myskow

asks how cathartic is the
writing process for them?
Were songs written out of
revenge? And do any of them
regret writing such barbed
lyrics about close family
members? Debra Craine
