I Eat Dinner - Rufus Wainwright and Emmylou Harris - Meltdown 2010 Celebration of Kate McGarrigle

Unearthed from the 2010 Meltdown's Kate McGarrigle Celebration tapes comes this rare fusion of rehearsal and performance. It's jagged and intimate and shamelessly emotive rendering that I feel captures the complex moment where Kate's family and friends via commemorating her artistic and human gifts shared their love and found solace. It's culled from a rediscovered one-camera rough cut that I shot and edited in 2010 and thought was lost. Until tonight...

This song, sung by Rufus and Emmylou, is on the CD "Sing Me the Songs: Celebrating the Works of Kate McGarrigle," Disk 1, released in 2013 by Nonesuch Records. Like the others who have commented here, I love it, too.

Saw in Stereo Review that the McGarrigles' "Heart like a Wheel" was the best album of the year. Wow, then bought everything they put out. This song was devastating. I went to see them play at The Roxy in Hollywood with someone ,who could not comprehend their beauty, but no matter, the two sisters knew I loved them and they acknowledged me for that.
