Goodnight City is an album by Martha Wainwright, released by the record labels Cadence Music and PIAS on November 11, 2016.[8][9] The album was produced by Wainwright's husband, bassist Brad Albetta, and Thomas "Doveman" Bartlett. Guest contributors include Merrill Garbus, Glen Hansard, novelist Michael Ondaatje, Beth Orton, and members of the McGarrigle and Wainwright families. "Around the Bend" is the album's lead single.[10]
Composition
[edit]Wainwright has said about the writers who contributed to the album: "Because these writers know me and because I was able to personalize these songs by changing things here and there, I made them feel as if I wrote them myself. Somehow they wonderfully reflect my life and I am so thankful to the other artists for writing them."[8]
