Comment:
My favorite 80 minutes from an artist whose work I've just begun to appreciate over the past couple of years (thanks, Mark P). I realize that he recorded many fine songs after the first four albums represented here [Wanted Dead or Alive through Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School], but the production on subsequent records, coupled with the deterioration of his voice, kind of leaves me cold (that said, I plan on giving the rest of the records a more thorough listen and will probably eventually post a companion volume covering the rest of his career). For the record, I think that his nearly-perfect, self-titled second album is one of the best records of the '70s.Feedback:
Cool. He's a great candidate for the single artist mix. You could certainly make another super solid disc of stuff from his later releases. I really love some of the later stuff like "I was in the house when the house burned down." These are all great, of course. My fave song from his early period is "OUtside chance", that tune for the Turtles. Good to catch up with ya yesterday, Rob.
I am happy to see someelse that gives credit to Zevon's first solo alblum. Most SAMs ignore it completely. Tule's Blues is my favorite although Carmelita is a very close second.
edit: someone else not someelse.
Nice, Conroy. I've dug Zevon for a while, thanks to a frie nd of mine's older brother turning us on to him when we were kids. (we were weird kids, ha!)
The early period Zevon was GREAT, no doubt. But, as Lally added, there is plenty of worthwhile later period Zevon to dig into. Stellar mix, of course, dude.

I like pretty much everything the man did, but Lawyers, Guns & Money may be my favorite here.
Another artist that never quite took me where, on paper, I assumed he would. I've got a greatest hits package, but, aside from the obvious (and wonderful) triumvirate of Werewolves, Excit-able, and Lawyers, never got pulled in for the ride. Will give him another shot, though, on your commen-dation.
Am a bit of Zevon fan, but never looked at him in depth. Would appreciate a download of this if it were possible...
luvs some zevon. still makin mixes?
