On his aptly titled 26th album, “Lifetime Achievement,” the veteran singer-songwriter, 76, contemplates mortality and his legacy. He’s fathered three noteworthy music makers, Rufus Wainwright, Martha Wainwright and Lucy Wainwright Roche. The sometimes actor also has created a collection of quirky, often humorous songs like “Dead Skunk” and “Inaugural Blues” as well as deeply personal pieces like “That Hospital” and “A Father and a Son.” This time around he’s strumming and warbling about “Fam Vac” (a vacation away from the family), “Hell” (someone welcomes you on your first day in hell) and the twangy “Lifetime Achievement” (a love song in which “the biggest prize is I managed to win you”). He is a prize. (STAR TRIBUNE)
