More Hard Times

Peter Rukavina

What’s most remarkable about the extended Wainwright-McGarrigle musical family is not so much the talent that lives in each of them as individuals, but how well it works in harmony when they sing together: witness their rendition of Hard Times Come Again No More: can you imagine a better mixture of voices?

(See also the Stephen Fearing coalition singing the same song).

I could not agree with you more, Peter. Sometimes I am left breathless by the intertwining of these people's voices. This magic captured me first with Kate & Anna's debut album while I was in high school and it continues with the second and third generations of this McGarrigle/Wainwright family. Brilliant post.
