Colleagues Erik and Tim having reviewed this Brighton based English Alternative Rock duo's second and third albums Fire Like This and In Time To Voices (reviews respectively posted 01/03/2010 and 26/03/2012 – both still available in this website's “Archive” section), I don't really see a reason to do a full history-of-the-band, but, if indeed you need one, then google the band's page at Wikipedia too keep yourself busy!
Born on May 8, 1976 as the daughter of Loudon Wainwright III (US Folk singer and actor) and Kate McGarrigle (Canadian Folk singer-songwriter), Martha Wainwright was raised into a musical family alongside her older brother Rufus Wainwright in Montreal (Quebec, Canada), and it was only a matter of time before she would put her own steps into the music business.
It’s a bit strange, reviewing this album for Concrete Web, since this is definitely not your average rock album, on the contrary, this album has more in common with folk music than with rock.
However I’ve always had a fondness for banjo music, since hearing the ‘Dueling Banjo’s’ song in the 1972 movie Deliverance. I know this might sound strange for someone who’s been into rock music for over 30 years, but doesn’t everyone have some weakness ?
