HOLY.

Rufus Wainwright, you know, of OMG pretty Hallelujahness.

His father is Louden Wainwright III, of I Wish I Was A Lesbian fame.

Talent runs WILD in that family.

Wikipedia rules. Including the above, I've learned: About Jeff Buckley, who I only know as the dude with the pretty voice who does Ulalume on the Poe CD merrick42 gave me; Hallelujah is a Leonard Cohen song that was covered by both Rufus Wainwright and Jeff Buckley; the version on the Shrek soundtrack is Wainwright's, but the movie used somebody else's version; I need me some Rufus Wainwright CDs. And some of his dad's, if I can get 'em.

I don't have any yet, unfortunately, but my friend Monty at the Music Hall got me into Rufus Wainright and you're right, he has a really great voice. His father gets played on the River (92.5 FM) quite often, too. Buckley and Cohen are great too, I'll have to check if either of the Wainrights or Buckley are on the Cohen cover cd I have.

I had no idea! I did have a feeling you'd know more than me about the subject, though ^_^ I remember that you knew who Jeff Buckley was when I asked about Ulalume.
