Lifetime Achievement (album)

Lifetime Achievement is the twenty-fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Loudon Wainwright III, released on August 19, 2022, on Proper Records.

Co-produced by regular collaborators Dick Connette and Stewart Lerman, the album is Wainwright's first to feature original material since the release of Haven't Got the Blues (Yet) in 2014.

The album's lyrical content covers the COVID-19 pandemic, family life, and experiences and reflections from the perspective of Wainwright in his 70s.

"[2] After spending two years isolated on Long Island during the COVID-19 pandemic, the track "Town & Country" details Wainwright's experiences and observations upon returning to New York City following the several lockdowns.

Rolling Stone described the track as a “sardonic" folk song that represented an emerging genre of songwriting called "covid-pop".
