Review

Originally released in 1973, Attempted Mustache found Loudon Wainwright undaunted by the utterly unexpected commercial success of what would prove to be the only hit single of his career--1972's "Dead Skunk." Recorded in Nashville with producer Bob Johnston (who'd previously worked with Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen), this reissue sports several of Wainwright's best-known songs, including the rollicking "The Swimming Song" (featuring him and his then wife, Kate McGarrigle, on twin banjos), the bitter "The Man Who Couldn't Cry," and the arch "Clockwork Chartreuse." Of historical note are two tunes penned for Wainwright and McGarrigle's then newborn son (and budding singer-songwriter), Rufus, the warm "Dilated to Meet You" and "Lullaby." --Billy Altman
