3 stars Consistently Amazing
This album is amazing in way only Warren could make it. Filled with wrenching songs, at the same time dry, witty and comical. It is eerie how prophetic songs like " My Sh!t's F@cked Up" and "Don't Let Us Get Sick" are in light of his death from cancer only three years later. Warren Zevon was one of the greatest songwriting talents of his time and this album shows it.

Warren Zevon Bad Luck Streak In Dancing School CD (1980)

Life'll Kill Ya album

$9.55

BAD LUCK STREAK IN DANCING SCHOOL finds Warren Zevon knee deep in his own literary yet sardonic and grotesque music. From the opening riff of the title track, Zevon pounds and rocks against the tide of typical singer-songwriter blather. Zevon swings his mighty piano through an array of countrified boogie, bare-knuckle rockers, absurd pop, and swooning ballads. He hits the mark with the doomed love of "Jeannie Needs a Shooter" (title supplied by Springsteen), which became a minor hit upon its release. There are a few missteps, mainly the forced funk and overwrought machismo "Jungle Work." He turns his sights on country life on "Play it all Night Long," invoking incest, cancer ...

Warren Zevon Mutineer CD (1995)

Life'll Kill Ya CD music

$9.55

MUTINEER is a comeback of sorts. It was released after something of a delay and is arguably stronger than anything he's done since the late '80s. The sound is more robust, with fuller production and instrumentation augmenting Zevon's baritone. The tipsy-turvy carnival feel of "Something Bad Happened To A Clown" will either enthrall or alienate, depending on your view of carnivals. Long time fans will be relieved when the vintage Zevon lurks and keeps his eyes peeled for intruders on "Rottweiler Blues," a lean rocker draped with paranoid humor and violence. The spare "Piano ...

$28.29

Warren Zevon's songs often address the uglier side of life with a black sense of humor and a strong grounding in both the musical and lyrical sides of songcraft. He's a misanthrope, but a lovable one. If you want an idea of the kind of legacy he's left in the 20 years that this comprehensive collection covers, check out the booklet, which contains a testimonial by the bard of inhospitality himself, Hunter S. Thompson, as well as a photo of Zevon and Thompson cavorting with firearms. I'LL SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD draws from all the albums Zevon recorded for Asylum, Virgin and Giant between 1976 and 1995, with particular emphasis on the two misfit singer-songwriter classics that launched his career: 1976's WARREN ZEVON and 1978's EXCITABLE BOY, which between them supply 14 songs here (a couple of them in live renditions). The collection covers the full range of Zevon's work, from his early Los Angeles folk-rock style to his harder-edged '80s material and his more recent flirtations with electronics. In all his incarnations, Zevon's artistic vision and deep, smoldering voice have remained ...

Warren Zevon Wind CD (2003)

Life'll Kill Ya album

$14.65

THE WIND won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. "Keep Me in Your Heart" was nominated for Song Of The Year and for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. "Disorder in the House" won for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal and was also nominated for Best Rock Song. With the specter of a terminal lung cancer diagnosis hanging over his head, Warren Zevon responded by rallying to make THE WIND, an album that found him working with longtime collaborator and friend Jorge Calderon, shortly after getting the news. The result is a tight group of 11 songs wrapped up in a year, despite a diagnosis that only gave Zevon three months to live. Along the way, plenty of famous names--both friends and fans--pitched in, including Tom Petty, Bruce ...
