This is probably my favorite track on this disc, primarily because the lyrics are so Zevonesque. Listening to Jordan's track, Studebaker, it's clear that talent runs in the family. Warren's still with us, not only in the legacy of words and music that he left us, but in his son Jordan Zevon. Browne produced the album and Raitt and Henley were among the rockers who backed up some of the tracks on that and other Zevon classics.īilly Bob Thornton's version of The Wind and Springsteen's live version of My Ride's Here, evoke the image of Warren riding off into the sunset. This tribute album feels like a bittersweet party celebrating Warren Zevon's life because Warren wrote songs recorded by a wide spectrum of artists that we all know and love, as well as recording his own tunes.īonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne's rendition of Poor, Poor Pitiful Me, is reminiscent of Zevon's debut, in 1976, when the track was featured on the debut album, Warren Zevon. Now, a year later, the songs on this disc have not lost their appeal. Just one year ago yesterday, about a year after he died, I posted on another site a review of this title that included some of my thoughts about this tribute to Warren Zevon.
