Fame and Wealth

Fame and Wealth is a 1983 album by Loudon Wainwright III.[4] It was released on Rounder Records. After a five-year hiatus since Final Exam, it eschewed the rock sound of his later 1970s albums in favour of a stripped-down, wirier folk sound which would typify his recorded output from then on.
