THank you for that wonderful walk down memory lane- and your insightful comments. Been a long time Rufus fan -from Australia. Discovered him when I heard Natasha played on a Tv show- just before he came to Sydney for the Leonard Cohen Tribute Concert- which I had luckily already purchased tix for myself and sons- what with them being big LC fans. Been a keen follower of his shows here and abroad. His body of work is amazing- true genius.Make sure you continue to explore his other offerings- he will not disappoint. Now I’m off to revisit Want One and Want Two.
Ahhh, this was wonderful! I absolutely love hearing people discover Rufus. I’ve been a fan since his early days and proud to say I’ve seen him perform live 11 times since 2001. Please, definitely explore his other albums and if you can see him live, you will be even more moved. He adds some great humor in between some songs and is just such an excellent live performer.
