Martha Wainwright’s new CD ‘Come Home to Mama’

Posted August 30th, 2012 by Anna

MARTHA’S NEW WEBSITEMartha has a new CD. It’s got lots of great new songs beautifully produced by Yuka C. Honda. Here’s a video of Martha doing Kate’s Proserpina. This is the last song Kate wrote. It was around mid-October 2009. She sang it in the Royal Albert Hall Christmas show on Dec 9. This was to be her last public performance.

    I cry every time I hear Proserpina, and Martha’s done it proud…tears started rolling down my face almost from the start.

    I will always wish that Kate was still with us, but if she had to write her last song, she left us with a wondrous heartrending jewel to keep her close to our hearts.

    If anyone were to record “Proserpina” then it should have been Martha. It’s a different take on Kate’s last song but I love it. I’m sure Kate would approve.

    Think it’s time for Anna to open up another thread to get into a likely lively discussion of Martha’s ongoing output of French songs for the soundtrack of Trauma (a Québequois version of ER).
    I love her cover of “Ayoye”, just made available in the last few days. Taking on a Gerry Boulet classic, in Quebec, in French, wow, that’s ballsy! The comments are going to come thick and fast and furious, pro and con.
    I would like to be able to tell Martha, GO MARTHA, your mantra is “Le nez dans le vent, mais les pieds bien à terre”!!! “En-waye Martha” ;)
