Zevon

Thought it might be good to talk through some of the shirts we've got on the site and see if I could annoy as many people as possible by offending their album collections etc.

Warren Zevon is a funny chap. I haven't actually found very many songs that I can get a grip on. He's not Randy Newman, he's not the Eagles, he's not Jackson Browne. He's a kind of falling between a whole load of stools kind of guy. Werewolves Of London is the track everybody knows but as usual it's not representative of the rest of his oevre. Great Fleetwood Mac rhythm section on that & Excitable boy. When it comes down to some of the other albums I find the vocal really grates. Some vocalists take a while to get your head around (Wetton / Anderson / Geddy etc) but Warren really has a quite irritating rasp. Jackson Browne is almost as bad but I usually fall asleep before any of his songs have finished so I don't normally last long enough to have a problem with his voice.
Anyway. That was a really rambling & barely coherent opinion. Let's hope there's more where that came from. Bet you can't wait.
