Rufus Wainwright - Going To A Town [live @ KEXP 4/24/07] (MP3)
In January, Rufus Wainwright stated before a New York Times sponsored forum that Release the Stars would ask the world to be as brilliant as it could be. In an attempt to meet his own demands, Wainwright performed all production and arrangement duties this time around, a first in his short but busy career. To keep busy these days, Wainwright is penning Premadonna, an original opera written in French, as well as releasing his reenactment of Judy Garland’s 1961 Carnegie Hall performance.
Here’s the live debut of “Going To A Town,” which Rufus performed at a benefit for Robert Redford’s eco-friendly program “The Green“:

Speaking of Judy Garland, there is an an exciting new group on Yahoo called The Judy Garland Experience. The group features ever changing and always amazing audio files. Currently, along with some of Judy’s 1950’s radio work we are featuring full length concerts of her with the original Rat Pack, her 1967 free concert on the Boston Common, songs and interviews from her aborted role in Valley Of The Dolls, and much more. The group also features rare photo’s, lively discussions, and the most eclectic and interesting gathering of Garland fans anywhere!
