Haven't Got the Blues (Yet) - or HGTB(Y), for short - is the 26th album in the long and illustrious career of Loudon Wainwright III. It follows his acclaimed 'Older Than My Old Man Now' album from 2012 - "my death n' decay opus," as Wainwright calls it. In HGTB(Y) he broadens his scope with a 14-song, genre-bounding set - "eclectricity," he calls it - dealing with varied subject matter including depression, drinking, senior citizenship, gun control, heartbreak, pet ownership and New York City's arcane practice of alternate side-of-the-street parking. Producing HGTB(Y) was Wainwright's long time musical collaborator David Mansfield, who has backed him on numerous previous recordings as instrumentalist/arranger, including the 2010 Grammy Award winning 'High Wide & Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project'. "I got to know L'il Davey about 23 years ago, on a flight back from Vancouver - I think - to New York", Wainwright recalls. "I've worked on and off with him ever since, on TV, in the recording studio, and on the road. He's been featured as a player and arranger on some of my best records including 'History', 'Grown Man', 'Last Man On Earth', and 'High Wide & Handsome'." Other top players grace HGTB(Y), and include ace banjoist Tony Trischka, saxophonist Steve Elson, drummer Sammy Merendino, bassist Tim Luntzel, and another longtime musical cohort, Chaim Tannenbaum, on background vocals.
