Warren Zevon dead at 56.
What a shame. Another life lost to cancer. 
Thanks for all the great tunes, Warren.

We all knew it was coming. But that doesn't make it any less sad.
Goodnight Warren. Great show.

Zevon was a tremendous talent, mostly unrecognized until very recently. There was so much more to his music than Werewolves in London.

Terminal cancer at 56 (smoking)
He finished off a final album in the last year of his life, Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Don Henley, Tom Petty, Emmylou Harris, Ry Cooder and many others helped him out---listen to:
"Keep Me in Your Heart"---
"Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath, keep me in your heart for awhile. If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less, keep me in your heart for awhile."
Also does a surreal rendition of Bob Dillon's "Knockin on heavens door"---pretty sad to listen to...

Fans may want to watch Letterman tonight he was a friend of Warren and Warren was Paul's Shaffer's fill in a few times.

You might be surprised at the tunes he wrote that other people covered and got hits off of. He, and his sensibilities, will be sorely missed. I was digging him back in the early 80's. His passing isn't a surprise, certainly, but it's a loss nonetheless.

Sadly many will view Zevon as a "one hit wonder". He was most definitely much more than that. I recommend last year's compilation "Genius: The Best of Warren Zevon". I am in awe of the mind that created "Hasten Down The Wind", "Mutineer", "Lawyers, Guns and Money", "Genius", "Carmelita", "Desperados Under the Eaves", "Accidentally Like a Martyr", "Detox Mansion", and so many more. He was one of my generation's best song writers.
Zevon was also a gifted interpreter of other's music. His cover of Steve Winwood's "Back in the High Life Again" is classic.
I miss him already. | |
