Like no other singer-songwriter of his generation, Warren Zevon addressed murder, desperate passion, espionage, crippling loneliness, and fuck-you excess with a lethal wit and confessional grace that remain unrivaled. When the singer-songwriter-pianist succumbed to lung cancer in 2003, the music world lost a truly original voice. Rhino honors Zevon’s brilliant lyrics, poignant melodies, withering wit, and devastating satire with a trio of reissues that revisit two of his finest studio efforts, plus a stunning live album. Remastered and expanded with previously unreleased bonus tracks, EXCITABLE BOY, STAND IN THE FIRE, and THE ENVOY are available now at all retail outlets and on November 11, 2008 Rhino will issue the remastered and expanded self-titled WARREN ZEVON.

I cannot listen to you without tears surfacing and a catch in my throat...Maybe it's the words you sing but I think there is something in your voice. A haunting sound a poignant melancholy...So sad and compelling and at times a wry sense iof humour that causes smiles to replace the tears!! You are missed deeply and profoundly...By Me and so many others You Are My Mutineer! Love Always ~~Missy~~xo
You were made to rock the boat, some may sink but we will float...grab your coat...let's get out of here...I'm your Witness You're My Mutineer XoXo Warren :) ~~Missy~~
Howdy, Thanks for your friendship and the great music on your page. Just uploaded my new song "My Future Showed Up Late". It's a toe tapper about southern style karma and us good ole boys. I know Warren would have loved the outcome! It's also got my good buddy Ray MaGee on pedal steel cookin' up a storm. Enjoy and let me know how you like it. Thanks, Dexter
