Album Notes & Community Reviews

Composed and recorded during his mother Kate McGarrigle's final illness, this album strips away Wainwright's typically lavish baroque pop orchestration. Featuring only his voice and a piano, the deeply intimate and mournful record contains a suite of Shakespeare sonnets alongside profound meditations on death, grief, and legacy.
