The project, inspired by actor Johnny Depp and film director Gore Verbinski and produced by Hal Willner, is a collection of songs from this lost genre.

 Variety.com - Reviews - Rufus Wainwright
Since emerging with his self-titled debut album in 1998, Wainwright has made it clear his roots are far from contemporary, showing less of a debt to his folk-musician parents Loudon Wainwright III and Anna McGarrigle than to eclectic influences ranging from Al Jolson to Edith Piaf to Puccini.
The headliner conceded the stage to his sister Martha for a striking interpretation of "Stormy Weather" that brought the crowd to its feet and supplied a jolt of drag-queeny theatricality (loved the shoes) to contrast her brother's artful drone and mellow persona.
Garland's voice was a far more emotional instrument than Wainwright's and her warmth, generosity and history of personal adversity, of very public highs and lows, colored her vocals in ways few if any other singers will ever approach.
