Maybe it’s unfair to expect a man possessing such a keen sense of fabulousness to dish it out at the end of a long day. Touring in support of his fifth LP, Release the Stars, Rufus Wainwright is clearly tired and, frankly, bored with interviews. That doesn’t mean, however, that he’s not up to a bit of speculation about Lindsay Lohan’s latest PR disaster read more..

The man responsible for “Shake a Tailfeather” and “Twine Time” may be in his 70s, but he won’t be slowing down. Andre Williams’ latest, Aphrodisiac (Pravda), pulls him back from the freaky side and into a soul groove read more..

A sharp songsmith with a mind for high drama (and plenty of melodrama to match), Rufus Wainwright has carved out his own space in a contemporary pop world that rarely makes way for characters so conflicted and conventional. He’s weird in a lot of ways, but he’s also a singer from a mold of old, when pop stars played lounge clubs and mewled through standards over clinking drinks. Wainwright plays here behind Release The Stars, a new album as good as any he’s made before. The New Pornographers’ Neko Case provides main support, offering material from her five solid solo discs that veer toward moody folk and uplifting country. Opener A Fine Frenzy’s 22-year-old Alison Sudol—having just wrapped dates on VH1’s You Oughta Know Tour—joins the ranks of sensitive, piano-playing singer-songwriters currently ruling the radio with her debut One Cell In The Sea. www.theonion.com
