...from a family of many talented musicians and singers (his father is Loudon Wainwright III and his mother is Kate of Kate and Anna McGarrigle) who have clearly influenced and supported his work. His sister Martha Wainwright sang with him during most of the show, and they performed a duet on “One Man Guy” written by their father. I spoke with Rufus before the show, and when I asked him if he preferred playing with family Rufus answered that it is a bonus, but that each member of the family has their own career...
...hard edges he and Nelson put back on country music reinvigorated the genre, and Jennings quickly became a country superstar. His 1972 duet with Nelson, "Good-Hearted Woman," was a No. 1 country single and a crossover pop hit, as was his own "Ramblin' Man" in 1974; in 1975, the Country Music Association named him its Male Vocalist of the year.

Johnny Mercer charted a swing version in 1945, and Nellie Lutcher put it on the R&B charts (#13) in 1948. Add Ray Charles' brilliant big-band take...
...voice Bourdain uses in conversation and in writing--an odd mixture of macho vulgarity and effete vocabulary, a DMX-Jane Austin duet in one person--has made him both a success and a target for most serious food writers. It's a learned toughness: he's by nature a softie, a prep-school kid who went to Vassar to follow a girl he had crush on (whom he later married). But after two years he dropped out of college to work in a series of kitchens--including fish shacks where he chopped onions alongside ex-con fry cooks--before earning...
