Here Come the Choppers! by Loudon Wainwright III

Here Come the Choppers is a 2005 album by Loudon Wainwright III. The title track is an acerbic and blackly humorous reference to the Iraq War, reset in southern California's Miracle Mile "The inspectors found nothing That’s just not right Whole Foods and Kmart Are targets tonight" Perhaps the most remarkable track though, is Hank and Fred, a real-life account of Wainwright driving to the grave of Hank Williams when he heard the news, on the car radio, of the death of children's TV host Fred Rogers. "One New Years' Day Hank slipped away Slumped over in the back Oh, I hope he had his cardigan on In that Cadillac" The album is also notable for the seemingly unlikely recruitment of Bill Frisell on lead guitar. The cover illustration is by Steve Vance.
