New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, Loudon Wainwright III announces 'Years in the Making,' a two-disc compendium of 45 years of Loudon's offbeaten, rare and unissued tracks. Out September 14 on StorySound Records, 'Years in the Making' is a true "audio-biography" that boasts orphaned album cuts, live recordings, radio appearances, home demos, and more, that come together to offer a never-before-seen perspective on Loudon's public and private selves. Notable figures from Loudon's life pop up throughout as well: Kate McGarrigle, Suzzy Roche, Bill Frisell, Van Dyke Parks, Chaim Tannenbaum, David Mansfield, Steve Goodman, George Gerdes, and the Wainwright children Rufus, Martha, Lucy and Lexie.

From Loudon's early folk efforts covering Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan to his more recent years (including an a cappella rendition of 2017's "Birthday Boy," written on the occasion of Loudon's 71st), 'Years in the Making' is a treasury of the finest Loudoniana.

Watch the new video by Nancy Howell and Mark Lerner for Loudon's 1985 recording of "Floods of Tears" and read a Q&A with Loudon at Billboard.

Watch on YouTube.
The two-disc, 42-track set is divided into seven chapters and will be released in a 60-page hardbound book. The artwork was done by New Yorker cartoonist Ed Steed (who drew on Father John Misty's Grammy-winning packaging for 'Pure Comedy'). The package includes dozens of scans of documents, introspective musings and other artifacts from what Loudon calls his "swinging life," in addition to paintings and drawings done by friends and fans.

Says Loudon, "'Years in the Making' covers a lot of ground, about half a century's worth. Sonically it's all over the place and, at times, noticeably low-fi, but my co-producer Dick Connette and I decided that didn't matter as much as offering up something that was spirited and representational…The sources at our disposal came in various formats - hard drives, cassettes, reel-to-reel tapes, B-sides, bootlegs, and reference CDs. There was too much to choose from, and plenty wasn't even listened to but we did our level best to pick and assemble what we think amounts to a diverting 2 hours of listening."

"Years in the Making" is co-produced by Loudon and Dick Connette.
This summer and fall, Loudon will head out on a national tour, including a show at City Winery in New York City on October 7. Full dates below.
