>>His last album, THE WIND, isn't his best, but
man, who can ever hear
Dylan's "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" again, and not think of
Zevon laying down that track while walking up the steps? I'll
be keeping Zevon in my heart for a long while.<<
It's too bad he's not around to appreciate the attention he
is getting now, but I suspect the irony wasn't lost on
him.
Not to shift attention from Zevon, but I recall a thread
about hardboiled music and digging my shelves for stuff to go
with "Lawyers, Guns and Money" I came across the albums John
Cale did in the mid-70s and would heartily recommend "Fear"
(1974) and Slow Dazzle (1975) in particular to anybody
looking for suitable music. Songs like "Guts", "Gun",
"Barracuda", "Fear is a Man's Best Friend", and a brilliant
spooky version of "Heartbreak Hotel" should appeal to anybody
who likes Zevon and hardboiled fiction. (good lyric sample:
