Rufus Wainwright's February 2002 release on the Dreamworks label. It has a 4.5/5 star rating at Amazon.com
Singer-songwriter music that goes beyond just acoustic guitar, drums and bass. Rufus writes in parts for the cello, the french horn, the violin, the oboe, the piano, the viola, the banjo, keyboards, and more! The style is mostly mellow, but emotive. The majority of lyrics are about lovers. Note: only certain copies of Poses come with the bonus track, which is a cover of The Beatles, "Across the Universe." This song can also be found on the "I Am Sam" soundtrack.
