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 Springsteen, Emmylou Harris, Jackson Browne, Dwight Yoakam and Don Henley. Allusions to his situation are naturally sprinkled throughout, whether it's partying in the face of doom ("The Rest of the Night"), using a self-penned blues song to look back with no regrets ("Rub Me Raw"), or pledging his eternal love ("El Amor De Mi Vida"). Even Zevon's cover of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," avoids the pitfall of sentimentality as he can be heard bellowing "open up, open up" in the background of the song's chorus sung by Tommy Shaw, John Waite, and Billy Bob Thornton. "Keep Me in Your Heart" finds Zevon subtly asking just that, in a dignified manner guaranteed to mist up the eyes of even the most jaded person.

5 stars Zevon's last is his best
This is a very compelling recording. The performances are raw and heartfelt, from Springsteen's guitar solos to Eagles back-up vocals to Zevon's unique, relaxed vocal style. And as always, Zevon's wit and wisdom is very apparent in his lyrics. I laughed and cried in my first listen through. This is a must-have for the definitive music collection.

5 stars Very Nice
This is a poignant and fantastic effort. For Warren to leave us with such a gem is a fantastic thing. The playing and production values are first class. He inner-mixes rockers with ballads and as always with Warren the lyrics are original, fun, insightful and moving. I was on the bubble with this having grown weary of werewolves and the circumstances, but buy it and really listen. Even for the casual fan you will be happy you did. Thank You Warren!

4 stars Warren says 'Goodbye' with class
When Warren Zevon was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2002, he started writing the CD that would become "The Wind." Zevon enlisted an incredible assortment of musicial friends to help him say goodbye in a memorable way. Zevon's voice seems to waver a bit more on this release than in the past, but from the songs like the rocker "Disorder in the House" (featuring Bruce Springstenn) to the subdued final cut "Keep Me in Your Heart" Warren has left us a wonderful farewell.

5 stars Powerful and touching
I will never be able to listen to anyone else sing "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." The rest of the album is amazing, but moves closer to perfection when the circumstances of the recordings are taken into consideration.
