Loudon Snowden Wainwright III is an American songwriter, folk singer, humorist and actor. Born on September 5, 1946 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA, he has established himself as a versatile artist with a unique blend of wit and introspection.

Throughout his career, Loudon Wainwright III has captivated audiences with his heartfelt lyrics and soulful melodies. He has been married to Canadian singer-songwriter Kate McGarrigle and together they have two children - Rufus Wainwright and Martha Wainwright. Additionally, he has a daughter named Lucy Roche from his relationship with the singer Suzzy Roche.

Hailing from a musical family, Loudon is the son of esteemed Life magazine columnist Loudon Wainwright Jr., and the brother of acclaimed musicians Sloan Wainwright and Martha Wainwright. His upbringing undoubtedly influenced his passion for music.

Haven't Got the Blues (Yet) - or HGTB(Y), for short - is the 26th album in the long and illustrious career of Loudon Wainwright III. It follows his acclaimed 'Older Than My Old Man Now' album from 2012 - "my death n' decay opus," as Wainwright calls it. In HGTB(Y) he broadens his scope with a 14-song, genre-bounding set - "eclectricity," he calls it - dealing with varied subject matter including depression, drinking, senior citizenship, gun control, heartbreak, pet ownership and New York City's arcane practice of alternate side-of-the-street parking. Producing HGTB(Y) was Wainwright's long time musical collaborator David Mansfield, who has backed him on numerous previous recordings as instrumentalist/arranger, including the 2010 Grammy Award winning 'High Wide &amp; Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project'.
