“Rufus Wainwright‘s mother, folksinger Kate McGarrigle, died in January, and her four-year battle with cancer took its toll on her son’s dandy grandeur. Now he’s stripped down to just his
sadness and his Steinway keys on All Days Are Night: Songs For Lulu. These songs require patience: Right when you think they’ll get stronger, they lose momentum. But then, that’s how grief works, too, and Wainwright lays it bare with heartbreaking simplicity here.” – Melissa Maerz, Entertainment Weekly
