Sister Sister
Rufus might be staging operas and playing Carnegie Hall, but our favorite Wainwright sibling has always been Martha.
We adore her even more with the release of Sans Fusils, ni souliers, à Paris, a live interpretation of Edith Piaf’s lesser-known songs. The tunes are both romantic and tortured (just like Piaf) with Martha’s folksy voice wobbling in all the right places.
Is it unfair to play favourites in families? Je ne regrette rien.
