His first album of new original songs since 2014's \u003ci\u003eHaven't Got The Blues Yet, Lifetime Achievement\u003c\/i\u003e finds LWIII in a state of deep reflection at age 75, over a set of 15 recently written, insightful and incisive gems that he wasn't even planning to pen. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSays Wainwright, \"I remember when I made my first record for Atlantic in 1969. I was always saying, 'I want it to be a record – not only a recording, but a document that captures a moment.' I was 21 and very serious, and I thought I'd be dead in four years (laughs). So I wanted to make something that would last. A testament. Now, fifty years later, I guess I still want to make a testament. I want to write a group of songs and get them down in the best possible way. And I like to think they might last a while.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter thirty albums, a Grammy, many film and TV credits, and songs recorded by such artists as Johnny Cash, Mose Allison, Bonnie Raitt and his son Rufus, Wainwright is perhaps our foremost six-string analyst and tragicomedian. And with Lifetime Achievement his \"unmatched wit and wisdom\" (NPR) has never been on sharper display.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Proper Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50476718358859,"sku":"1160569","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/3bd0c12d-22ad-4f9f-ba1f-df93b9713e69_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727462931","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/lifetime-achievement","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
