Folkocracy (CD)
Rufus Wainwright
Amoeba Review
Folkocracy is Rufus Wainwright at the height of his powers. Wainwright's deeply romantic, timeless voice lends itself readily to the Americana, folk, and country compositions on the album. Folkocracy features an all-star cast of collaborators from different musical worlds: watch out for appearances from Anohni, Andrew Bird, David Byrne, Brandi Carlile, Sheryl Crow, Madison Cunningham, Susanna Hoffs, Chaka Khan, John Legend, Anna McGarrigle, Van Dyke Parks, Nicole Scherzinger, Chris Stills, and Chaim Tannenbaum. Sweeping in scope yet beautifully familiar and tender in tone, Folkocracy is a thing of real beauty.
