The new Martha Wainwright CD is brilliant.
It's self titled and has been compared to Joni Mitchell and our Kate - not that she sounds anything like Kate in my opinion other than being an exceptionally talented female singer / songwriter.
One radio station here accused her of cashing in on the success of Rufus - given that she writes all her own music and lyrics and has been playing / writing music all her life - it amused me.
Also for that matter you could accuse Rufus of cashing in on his famous parents just as much as Martha is cashing in on him. Ridiculous.

Some people can never escape the celebrity of their family and it is unfair I must say. Thanks for the heads up about Martha Wainwright and I'll take a listen. Rufus is in the UK now but sadly none of the shows are near enough for me to attend. I'll be keeping a eye on the situation. He featured on Radio 2 (BBC) this weekend and you'll find a link at the BBC's page. Well worth a listen.
