Loudon Wainwright III. In 1956 after purchasing the 45 r.p.m. single of All Shook Up by Elvis Presley music suddenly seemed terribly powerful and important to Loudon. He started playing the guitar around 1960 after seeing Bob Dylan at the Newport Folk Festival. Loudon has won two Grammy nominations for the albums I\'m Alright and More Love Songs. Johnny Cash had recorded his song The Man Who Couldn\'t Cry for his highly acclaimed 1994 album American Recordings. His quote reads, “It comes when it comes and how it comes. It used to come rushing out of me and now it dribbles out, but as long as it keeps coming. The whole process of writing songs is kinda mysterious and I don’t understand it or really wanna know how or why it happens but I’m happy when it does.”
