The Excitable Boy is Back!
After 25 years of unavailability save for a wonky
sounding cassette and expensive Japanese
import, one of the late, great WAREN ZEVON'S
best recorded efforts hits stores this week, along
with his multi million selling signature album, and
a little discovered gem. See below...
Stand in the Fire
Excitable Boy
The Envoy
Rhino/WEA
"After 10 long years they let him out of the home."
We lost Warren Zevon in 2003, taken way too soon
from cancer, but 2007 is shaping up as a good one
for fans of the singer/song writer who for a brief
shining moment towards the end of the 70s
defined the wild man of rock genre.
Stand in the Fire, never before available on
domestic CD charges to the front of these 3
reissues with 4 bonus tracks and expanded liner
notes and pix.
See the LP
Shortly after the 1981 release of what some critics
call one of the best live albums of the classic rock
era, Zevon began to feel the weight of the drink
that drove him to bizarre habits such as using his
.44 magnum on stray dogs.
The Envoy, featured a more subdued Zevon, as
well as more melodic work and less macabre
lyrics.
Check it out
Finally, the 1978 breakout LP, Excitable Boy is
offered with bonus tracks, although they seem to
be more of the left over variety, than with SITF
and TE.
More Warren
Another take on Warren
Hopefully, the 1980 Bad Luck Streak in Dancing
School will get the remastered, expanded
treatment later this year.
