Rufus Wainwright: Zebulon (2007)

Here is a live clip (FIP radio, Paris, France, Nov 17th, 2007.) of Rufus singing a new song about a childhood crush on a friend named Zebulon. A nice return to solo ballads that many of us have missed. I like how he shushes someone chatting while he is trying to start the song. I do wish he’d consider quitting smoking. You can hear it shortening his long phrases. Please Rufus, don’t turn into Joni who can barely sing one measure without taking a breath. Ah well, do you what you will…

I miss you Rufus. I’m glad you’ve got Judy out of your system.
