Film At 11: Loudon Wainwright III

Nearly 80 years after the death of Charlie Poole, singer/songwriter Loudon Wainwright III has created a project that examines and celebrates the country-music pioneer. The two-CD set High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project will be released on August 25 and features not only Poole songs performed by Wainwright and friends, but also some new songs written about Poole’s life and times. Guests on the tracks include Wainwright’s son Rufus and daughters Martha and Lucy, the Roches and Chris Thile. Check out some behind-the-scenes footage.
