Bruce Springsteen called him 'one of the great, great American
songwriters', Jackson Browne hailed him as 'the first and foremost
proponent of song noir', and Stephen King once said that if he
could write like him, he 'would be a happy guy'. The list of
artists that lined up to appear on his records include Bruce
Springsteen, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Dave Gilmour and Emmylou
Harris. So how is it that most people, if they have heard of Warren
Zevon at all, know him only as 'that Werewolves' guy'? This book
goes beyond that solitary hit single to examine all aspects of
Zevon's multifaceted, five-decade career, from his beginnings in
the slightly psychedelic folk duo Lyme and Cybelle, through to his
commercial breakthrough in the late Seventies with Excitable Boy,
his critically acclaimed late Eighties comeback Sentimental
Hygiene, his decline into cult obscurity, and his triumphant if
heart-breaking final testament, The Wind, released just prior to
his death in 2003. Along the way the reader will discover one of
rock's consummate balladeers, as well as a cast of characters
including doomed drug dealers, psychopathic adolescents, outlaws of
the Old West, BDSM fetishists, ghostly gunslingers, an unfeasibly
large assembly of apes, and, yes, lycanthropes unleashed on the
streets of London.
