Summary: Rufus Wainwright joins Michaela Majoun on this edition of World Cafe Words and Music from WXPN. For his catchy new pop record, Out of the Game, Wainwright partnered with Mark Ronson, who is celebrated for his work with Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse, Adele, and numerous hip-hop artists. Like his father Loudon Wainwright III's recent disc, Rufus' new songs were inspired by his family, including the birth of his daughter and the death of his mother, Kate McGarrigle. Wainwright discusses these events in this wide-ranging interview, and we'll also hear great performances with his band, featuring Teddy Thompson, live at Penn Park in Philadelphia.
