  • Bio

    Like no other singer-songwriter of his generation, Warren Zevon addressed murder, desperate passion, espionage, crippling loneliness, and fuck-you excess with a lethal wit and confessional grace that remain unrivaled. When the singer-songwriter-pianist succumbed to lung cancer in 2003, the music world lost a truly original voice. Rhino honors Zevon's brilliant lyrics, poignant melodies, withering wit, and devastating satire with a trio of reissues that revisit two of his finest studio efforts, plus a stunning live album. Remastered and expanded with previously unreleased bonus tracks, EXCITABLE BOY, STAND IN THE FIRE, and THE ENVOY are available now at all retail outlets along with the remastered and expanded self-titled WARREN ZEVON. WARREN ZEVON CD REISSUES & BIOGRAPHY .. Over the past few years Rhino remastered and expanded three classic albums from Warren Zevon, and a new biography of the fabled singer-songwriter has hit shelves. Narrated by Crystal Zevon, Warren's former wife, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead is an intimate and unusual biography of the musical force behind such dark, witty rock-and-roll classics as "Werewolves of London" and "Roland, the Headless Thompson Gunner.

    'Dracula's daughter, Calamity Jane
    Smoke on the water, water on the brain
    She's pretty as a picture--and totally crazed
    My baby is a basket case'

    I hear Mariachi static on the radio,
    And the tubes they grow in the dark.
    And I'm there with her in Ensenada,
    And I'm here in Echo Park.
