She's known as the kid sister of Rufus, but Martha Wainwright is an artist in her own, er, wright. Anyone who saw Rufus's two-day Judy Garland tribute at Carnegie Hall in 2006 will remember how little Martha not only stole the spotlight during her wild, audacious version of "Stormy Weather" but also brought the amazed crowd to its feet.
Now Martha is following her eponymous debut disc with "I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too" (Zoe/Rounder), to be released June 10. (She likes attention-grabbing titles: She once released an EP whose title was merely a string of vulgarities.) The disc is a star-studded affair, featuring Pete Townshend, Donald Fagen, Garth Hudson and, of course, Martha's famous mother and aunt, Kate and Anna McGarrigle.
Check out a new track, "You Cheated Me," up for a limited time at Martha's MySpace page, which also features a live recording of "Stormy Weather."
