#vinylrecords #vinyl #records #vinyljunkie #WarrenZevon Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy (1978) This album reads like a 'Who's Who' of the California music scene when it was released in 1978. Names that many casual listeners wouldn't recognize, but very familiar names to me---a few members of Fleetwood Mac, Jackson Brown, Linda Ronstadt, 'Waddy' Wachtel, J.D. Souther, Jennifer Warnes and several other 'names' from the California scene. All backing the eccentrics of Warren Zevon. A #8 platinum album for Zevon, it also has his most popular song on it (and the only one most people know) 'Werewolves of London'. Side one - 1. "Johnny Strikes Up the Band" 2. "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" 3. "Excitable Boy" 4. "Werewolves of London" 5. "Accidentally Like a Martyr" Side two - 6. "Nighttime in the Switching Yard" 7. "Veracruz" 8. "Tenderness on the Block" 9. "Lawyers, Guns and Money" This is simply a beautiful, haunting song... Accidentally Like a Martyr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5iwWQ9KB_U

I really should give him more of a listen. It's weird that Werewolves of London was his only big hit because he seemed like he had a lot of talent. I'll have to give this album a listen!
It is kind of an eclectic group of songs, but I like it quite a bit
No idea who this is but will give it a listen.
I've never heard that song before, (yeah, the only Zevon song I know is, "Werewolves of London"), but it seems like a song you have to listen to several times to truly appreciate it.
