Listened to this (mostly) on a round/road trip to San Francisco and enjoyed it immensely. First off, of course, I am a huge Loudon Wainwright fan since hearing my brother's copy of the second album when I was just a little kid. Secondly, he has continued to put out raw, poignant, raggedy, poetic, honest music ever since, which I have enjoyed listening to throughout my 57 years. He is a writer. Highly recommend the audiobook, as you get to hear him tell his story, along with hearing him sing the songs that relate to the story.
