Album Notes The brilliantly titled second album by confessional singer-songwriter Martha Wainwright (sister of Rufus, daughter of Loudon and Kate McGarrigle) catapults her to a new artistic level, alongside the likes of Neko Case, Cat Power, and Aimee Mann as a soul-baring but still-in-control and observant singer-songwriter. Covers of Pink Floyd's "See Emily Play" (stripped down but in keeping with the playful spirit of Syd Barrett's original) and the Eurythmics' "Love Is A Stranger" (which works surprisingly well as a countrified hoedown) round out these 14 well-crafted, smart, and witty tracks. I KNOW YOU'RE MARRIED BUT I'VE GOT FEELINGS TOO was released as both a standard CD and a Deluxe limited edition.
Industry Reviews [The album] portrays Wainwright as a distinctive artist with a caustic sense of humor and a complicated family situation.
3.5 stars out of 5 -- [S]he's finally got material mature enough to sink her formidable chops into.
4 stars out of 5 -- [W]ith a cutting edge and a soaring, gutsy voice to match. Perfectly capable of penning a country-ish strum or a radio-friendly pop hook...
3.5 stars out of 5 -- Sardonic chamber-folk gems such as 'Tower Song' and 'You Cheated Me' offer lyrical and sonic detail for days.
4 stars out of 5 -- Wainwright's relentless self-analysis and beguiling voice...make for an oddly sweet psychodrama....A riveting one-woman show.
