While Zevon continued to record and perform live, arguably these albums were the peak of his career. I donвЂ™t believe Springsteen ever officially released his version but the outtake I heard is called вЂњJaney Needs a Shooter.вЂќ* It featured a song called вЂњJeannie Needs a ShooterвЂќ which is a song Springsteen hadnвЂ™t been able to finish. He put out an album called Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School.

Hey, does Mac ever cover this tune? They should, no? Wikipedia says itвЂ™s a song whose verses deal with a failed suicide, domestic abuse, and a brush withВ sadomasochism. On this tune, Lindsey Buckingham sings harmony vocals and plays guitar. HereвЂ™s a great rocker from the album, вЂњPoor Poor Pitiful Me.вЂќ Linda Ronstadt had a hit cover of this and later also covered the song вЂњHasten Down the WindвЂќ for which she named the album. This 1976 album was the real start to ZevonвЂ™s road to fame and featured some of the cream of rock musicians of the day: Browne, Buckingham, Nicks, Phil Everly, Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bobby Keys, David Lindley, Bonnie Raitt, J.D. He got to know Jackson Browne who produced his second album, Warren Zevon. Now, I havenвЂ™t exactly figured out how they all knew each other, but on his return to the States in 1975, Warren (and I assume his wife) moved in with Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham who were by now members of Fleetwood Mac. The next year, they moved to FrancoвЂ™s Spain вЂ“ вЂњLooking for trouble,вЂќ he said, вЂњwhere they still point machine-guns in your face.вЂќ (Unclear to me why this would be attractive to anyone.) Somehow Zevon came to the attention of the Everly Brothers and in 1971, he became their bandleader and вЂњthe road, booze and I became an inseparable team.вЂќ (Ace guitarist Albert Lee spent many years with one or both of the Everlys but I canвЂ™t find any evidence that Zevon and Lee were in the band at the same time.)ДЇrom an article in Uncut magazine: InВ 1974В he dropped acid with his girlfriend Crystal and, guzzling vodka all the way, drove through the night to marry in Reno.

(The recurring lick sounds like CreamвЂ™s version of вЂњCrossroads.вЂќ) I like this tune, вЂњCalcutta.вЂќ ThereвЂ™s some cracking guitar and piano on here by Mr. You can hear the beginnings of the singular Zevon sound. However, I listened to it and you know, thereвЂ™s some decent stuff on there. (Zero relation to the later Bon Jovi tune.) This album was both a critical and commercial failure. In 1969, Zevon released his first album, Wanted Dead or Alive. Sung by a woman named Leslie Miller, it was retitled вЂњHe Quit Me.вЂќ (Good taste вЂ“ Zevon and Nilsson on the same album.) His labelmates, the Turtles, recorded a couple of his compositions (вЂњOutside ChanceвЂќ and вЂњLike the Seasons.вЂќ) One of his songs, вЂњShe Quit MeвЂќ wound up on the 1969 Midnight Cowboy soundtrack. They managed to get signed to a label and released a song which sank like a stone. One of his early efforts was part of a duo called lyme and cybelle with a woman who had the terrific name ofВ Violet Santangelo. He returned to LA on, as one article I read said, вЂњthe fringes of the LA pop scene. But suffice it to say that like so many, this dream did not work out.

ItвЂ™s hard to find any evidence from his playing around this time. Zevon studied classical music as a teenager and when his parents split up, he dropped out of school and made his way to Greenwich Village in the early вЂ™60вЂ™s to try his hand at being a folk singer. Maybe all this background provides some idea of WarrenвЂ™s oddball lyricism. (Who, against all odds, managed to die a natural death.) WarrenвЂ™s father, вЂњStumpyвЂќ Zevon was CohenвЂ™s best man. His father, taking a completely different turn, was a bookie who handled dice games and bets for notorious gangster Mickey Cohen. Warren Zevon was born in Chicago, IL in 1947.
