1) Album Description
The third album from the precocious singer-songwriter makes an even greater grab for mainstream acceptance. Recorded at Woodstock, it features instrumental touches from former Bob Dylan guitarist and Texas legend Charlie Sexton as well as drums laid down by the Band's Levon Helm. Marious Devries (Bjork, Madonna, Massive Attack) helms the producer's chair on this one, bringing young wainwright a polished sound.

1) Revelationary [Rating: 5 out of 5]
At the age of 67 I thought there were no more musical discoveries or joys to be had. Then, whammo bammo, I heard Rufus singing "Zing Went the String of My Heart" and then "I Don't Know What It Is" and right there I bought all his C.D.s and DVDS. That simple. What a voice, what a composer, what a lyricist, what a personality, what a charmer, what an original. This is music to change your life. I'm going broke buying gift copies for friends. Everyone, without exception, is overwhelmed by what they hear. He is a beautiful child.2) Incredible! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This album has made a Rufus Wainwright fan out of me. Now I own all his albums and have purchased tickets for the show at Radio City Music Hall on Valentine's day for me and my boyfriend. We're taking a limo from Baltimore all the way up - talk about a romantic night! A limo ride to Radio City Music Hall, a Rufus Wainwright concert.... I don't think even TOOL would be as perfect - for Valentine's day, that is. Having the most amazing gay artist perform for myself and my boyfriend on Valentine's day, with such talent,...it will be a hard Valentine's day to top.3) You don't want this one. [Rating: 2 out of 5]
My mother and I enjoyed downloading and listening to a variety of Rufus Wainwright mp3s, such as "Complainte de la Butte," "Danny Boy" and "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk." Because this is one of the only artists we can agree on, I thought I'd buy her an entire album that we can listen to together in her car. None of the songs on this CD, except "Oh What a World," come close to the melancholy beauty I thought was a hallmark of the body of Rufus' work. I was disappointed in Want One and will continue to search for an album that represents this artist's talent more appropriately.4) Cant get enough of it. [Rating: 5 out of 5]
A cd that has the word LOVE written all over it, I have played this in my car about probably more than 5 times non stop and I love it everytime I hear it, never sick of it. Definatly worth the bucks. He is a genious.5) Art Piece [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This cd is worth owening. It is a work of art let me tell you. I strongly recommend it, you wont be dissapointed.
