2. Son...Rufus...what an amazing voice.
I heard his version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" a couple of months ago -- it actually gave me the chills it was so powerful.

3. If you want more Rufus, listen to his album "Poses"
THAT is a fantastic album.

A few of my favorites cuts are "Cigarettes & Chocolate Milk" , "Shadows" , a cover of his dad's song, "One Man Guy" and John Lennon's "Across the Universe". Treat yourself to that album.

His most recent release, "Want One" is just as good.

Just saw his dad, Loudon W III in concert this week. Damn fine musician!


:)

4. I love, love, love, love, LOVE Rufus Wainright.
One of my favorite voices out there. There are very few Beatles covers I actually like, but I LOVE his cover of Across the Universe.

6. It's a beautiful song
His version is great. There was a whole CD of Beatles covers with that on it, and it was the best.

8. I know, It was the "I Am Sam" Soundtrack.
I just didn't like it. In fact, the only cover I liked on that CD was Ben Harper's Strawberry Fields.

Like I said, like his voice, hated the song.
