T Shirt (album)  T Shirt is a 1976 album by Loudon Wainwright III. Unlike his earlier records, this (and the subsequent "Final Exam") saw Wainwright adopt a full blown rock band (Slowtrain) - though there are acoustic songs on "T Shirt", including a talking blues. Nevertheless, it had the misfortune to arrive on the scene at the same time as punk rock, making it immediately dated in the eyes of many critics. According to Wainwright on the 2006 CD liner notes, it received a scathing review from "Rolling Stone" which depressed him so much he stayed in bed for five days. By the early 1990s, he disowned the album in a radio interview broadcast in Australia. However, by the time of the CD remaster (which included "Final Exam") he admitted to a much more sympathetic view of the album(s), which he referred to as his 'puppies'.
