PaulMerklein.com - Loudon and Lynn show review. Blog commentary from the LW3 show, 12/13/2012, where Lynn was the opening act For Loudon Wainwright III at The Ram's Head Inn, Annapolis, MD. "Posted on December 14, 2012 "On December 13, I saw my favorite songwriter Loudon Wainwright III perform at the Ram’s Head Tavern in Annapolis, Maryland. I’ve seen Loudon before, and his set at the Ram’s Head was more downbeat than usual, without being a downer. He opened with a song about his father called “Surviving Twin”, and played at least 6 songs from his new cd “Older Than My Old Man Now”. Loudon’s opener was a talented local songwriter named Lynn Hollyfield, who performed a brief set that was so good, I wish she would have played a few more songs. Lynn’s website is Lynnhollyfield.com." Thank you Paul!
