In the early 1970s, spirited singer-songwriter Loudon Wainwright III was named one of the New Dylans, a moniker he never lived up to in terms of commercial success, though his many albums won him a number of devoted fans. The father of popular contemporary singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright and the son of famed Life Magazine editor Loudon Wainwright, Jr., Wainwright shared his father's way with words, penning lyric-driven songs both topical and deeply personal, marked by his biting wit and incisive point of view. In 1972 he had a novelty hit with the silly "Dead Skunk," a track off of his third album and first Columbia release.
