This is Martha Wainwright's heartfelt memoir about growing up in a
bohemian musical family and her experiences with love, loss,
motherhood, divorce, the music industry and more. Born into music
royalty, the daughter of folk legends Kate McGarrigle and Loudon
Wainwright III and sister to the highly-acclaimed singer Rufus
Wainwright, Martha grew up in a world filled with such incomparable
folk legends as Leonard Cohen, Anna McGarrigle, Richard and Linda
Thompson, Pete Townsend and Emmylou Harris. It was within this
loud, boisterous, musical milieu that Martha came of age,
struggling to find her voice until she exploded onto the music
scene with her 2005 debut and critically acclaimed album, Martha
Wainwright, which contained the blistering hit, 'Bloody Mother
F*cking Asshole', which the Sunday Times called one of the best
songs of that year. Her successful debut album and the ones that
followed such as Come Home to Mama, I Know You're Married but I've
Got Feelings Too and Goodnight City came to define Martha's searing
songwriting style and established her as a powerful voice to be
reckoned with. 'With disarming candour and courage, Martha tells us
of finding her own voice and peace as a working artist and mother.
Her story is made more unique because of the remarkably gifted
musical family she was born into.' EMMYLOU HARRIS In Stories I
Might Regret Telling You, Martha digs into the deep recesses of
herself with the same emotional honesty that has come to define her
music. She describes her tumultuous public-facing journey from
awkward, earnest and ultimately rebellious daughter, through her
intense competition and ultimate alliance with her brother, Rufus,
to the heart-breaking loss of their mother, Kate, and then,
finally, discovering her voice as an artist. With candour and
grace, Martha writes of becoming a mother herself and making peace
with her past struggles with Kate and her younger self. Ultimately,
this book offers a thoughtful and deeply personal look into the
extraordinary life of one of the most talented singer-songwriters
in music today.
