warren zevon

Warren Zevon should be remembered as more than a one hit wonder, but he is best known for his one huge hit Werewolves of London. The American singer songwriter, who died in 2003, left us 15 LPs filled with heartbreak, sentimentality, violence, and even hockey. A good place to start is a compilation ironically (but not really) called Genius but, for my money, his classic 1976 self titled album is the real masterpiece. I am not a record collector, more an accumulator. But, when it comes to Zevon, I am a completist. Pictured here is a single with two versions of Werewolves, the original and a cover by the Flamin’ Groovies. I ordered this from Sweden. I’m a happy fanboy.
