Ok, I promise no more cry-like-a-baby threads: the final Zevon album

[Bossy Monkey]

In stores August 26, with a VH1 documentary made with Zevon's cooperation about its creation slated for August 24th. Enthusiastic review, with audio snippets, here:

Why is it always the good ones who go too young?

1. You guys just lost all your hipness points

and will have to start again from zero. (Kidding; I just wrote a crappy subject line again. Oh well.)

3. You've restored my faith, NSMA

such as it is

4. Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Just heard WZ's remake of the Dylan song and I found myself choking back the tears.

I've been a fan of his since the first album.

10. Emphatically agree, Jokerman

that version is very poignant, particularly knowing that Warren will soon be no longer with us.

5. What do you think of Hindu Love Gods?

I've tried to get that for years. C'mon eBay! Sooner or later I will get it.

7. Delightful

The first HLG single (Narrator/Gonna Have A Good Time Tonight) featured somebody named Bryan Cook doing an amusing job with the vocals, even though Warren was present for keyboard duties, so I was always a little unclear on what constitutes the personnel for this outfit. (REM - Stipe + Zevon + whoever.) If you can't find the HLG record, you ought to be able to get a hold of Sentimental Hygiene, where Warren is also backed by Buck, Mills and Berry. Underrated, some outstanding songs here.

6. I got tears in my eyes from "Keep Me In Your Heart"

Thanks for the post, u.l.
