Her voice is magnificent
She will say whatever is on her mind and she is a genius like her brother and her mom. I love her voice and her fearlessness.


A real artist to watch.
Absolutely riveting! Original and personal, authentic and not commercially oriented, strong and intense. I saw her live a few months ago, in 2004. This CD lets you in. Wait for the rest.


Caterwauling Cat Screeching
The stripped down arrangements here put her voice front & center. With the rock pedigree of father Loudon Wainwright III, mother Kate McGarrigle and brother Rufus Wainwright, her voice sounds a bit like her aunt Sloan Wainwright's full throated-alto. It is a moving vocal delivery, but unfortunately the title track is unnecessarily offensive with its language. In short, this EP is a mistake as a calling card for an upcoming full-length release. I can only hope that the original tracks heard here will not be heard again. "I Will Internalize" is somber and boring. "When the Day is Short" is a peppy track without much of a melody, "On the jukebox is your only song. " "It's over before it ever started" is pretty much a targeted assessment of this EP's worth. The track itself sounds like a caterwauling cat screeching, perhaps suitable for a song about slitting your wrists; but do I need to listen to this more than once? "How Soon" -- the only song Martha didn't write -- is the best track, but its wispy piano melody is hardly enough to recommend the set. Martha was charming on the McGarrigle Hour and did a wonderful job with "I'll Be Seeing You" from "The Aviator: Songs from the Movie" CD. However, this set is an utter mistake. She needs some management to help her find her talent that certainly seems to be there. Until next time, taxi! .


title of review
I really don't get what she was thinking with the offensive title. I expected something at least somewhat unconventional and interesting based on the title, but the title track is just standard, mediocre lilith fair stuff. Anyone conventionally-minded enough to like the music would be offended by the title, and anyone who found the title amusing or interesting would be offended by the boring conventional music. Track 2 is more of the same. Track 3 has a more developed sound with slide guitar and better songwriting. Track 4 has a slight noisy goth vibe, and she uses her voice more effectively as an instrument, although her enounciation is terrible and it's near impossible to make out a word she sings. The last song reminds me of Billie Holiday. It's completely unoriginal and weak, but apparently it's a cover so I guess that shouldn't count against her. Here's hoping her forthcoming album has more songs like tracks 3 and 4 and less like tracks 1 and 2.


a joy to behold
These tracks were among the best I heard last year and display how she has really come into her own as a solo artist. Martha has a gorgeous voice and wonderful stories to share. The production is raw and muted and does much to enhance the sheer emotionality of Wainwright's songs. .
