Loudon Wainwright III, Unchained September 29, 2007

Singer-songwriter-actor Loudon Wainwright III was once tagged as one of the "New Bob Dylans," a group of performers with sharp and insightful songwriting. However, that moniker was shaken off quickly as his career gathered steam in the 70s and 80s. He is a multi-faceted performer (at times funny, at other times introspective) and overall one of America's great tunesmiths.

Unchained is the ultimate Van Halen tribute band.
