  IDS: Playing with emotions in only 30 minutes (Weekend, 01/16/2002)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Excitable Boy is easily one of the best albums of its decade and perhaps the finest example of singer-songwriter craftsmanship of the pop-rock era.
The song progresses, and we watch the excitable boy bite a movie usherette's leg during a show.
Overall, what's most amazing about Excitable Boy is the fact that it manages to cover so much emotional and psychological ground in just over 30 minutes.

 RollingStone.com: Excitable Boy : Warren Zevon : Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Warren Zevon's Excitable Boy is the best American rock and roll album since Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run (1975), Neil Young's Zuma (1976) and Jackson Browne's The Pretender (1976).
This is a dangerous way to work—it isn't nice, and not everybody gets it—but you can claim some spectacular trophies when you're sufficiently reckless to risk safari on the dark side of the moon, where the gleam of the lion may look like the leer of the lamb.
On Excitable Boy, Warren Zevon's self-confidence and craftsmanship are so inherently forceful he's able to bypass self-consciousness and secondary concerns altogether.

 RollingStone.com: Warren Zevon : Warren Zevon on the Loose in L.A. : News
In the opening lines of the title song from Warren Zevon's new album, Excitable Boy, the title character smears Sunday pot roast all over his chest.
Excitable Boy, however, has been widely anticipated for Zevon alone.
Zevon's piano-based rock is harder than anything else in Southern California, and while his songs use the same backdrop as the Eagles and Browne, his lyrics, with their population of street characters and half-mythic imagery, are more like Randy Newman meets Bruce Springsteen than any of the other Hollywood cowboys.

 Daily Vault - June 14, 1998   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Whether it's a blessing or a curse, Warren Zevon will always be known for one song: "Werewolves Of London." A three-chord masterpiece, Zevon captured the ears of many people with his song and asides, and became a cult favorite quickly.
Twenty years later, that album, Excitable Boy, sounds as fresh as the day he recorded it, and even though there are a few misses on the album, it is an enjoyable work.
All in all, Excitable Boy is an album that demonstrates the power of Zevon more than any shortcomings, and is well worth adding to your collection - that is, if you haven't done so already.

The classic hit single came from Zevon's second studio album, 1978's Excitable Boy.
Excitable Boy may have been the album that spawned the man's biggest (and arguably only) hit, but as with Zevon himself, there is much more to this album than just one song.
On this album, Zevon veered away from being the "Dark Prince of California" that some people had dubbed him, and took his music in more of a pop-oriented direction, while at the same time maintaining his widely-diverse singer-songwriter roots and unique stylings.

In the mid-70s, he moved to Los Angeles and became associated with the then-burgeoning West coast music scene, including collaborations with Jackson Browne, who would produce and promote Zevon's self-titled major-label debut, and Linda Ronstadt, who would record several early Zevon songs including a hit version of "Poor Poor Pitiful Me".
In 1978 Zevon released his breakthrough album, Excitable Boy, to critical acclaim and popular success.
Several tracks from this album received heavy FM airplay and the single release "Werewolves of London", which featured a relatively lighthearted version of Zevon's signature macabre outlook, was a top-ten hit.

This was Warren's 2nd album and it still bristles with his patent brand of sardonic wit and tender ballads 25 years later.
Warren specialised in acerbic songs about ghostly mercenaries (Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner), homicidal prom dates (Excitable Boy)and the cartoon savagery of Werewolves of London which was his "breakthrough" song and still his biggest hit to date.
If you're a fan of the laid back 70's West Coast sound personified by the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac etc...but you'd like a twist of macabre humour thrown in then this is the album for you.

 Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy
His heroes are too excitable ("Well, he went down to dinner in his Sunday best/...And he rubbed the pot roast all over his chest") and generally find themselves in situations as absurd as those in Norman Mailer's
The excitable boy at his macabre best -- macho madness exposed, well-coiffed monsters resuscitated, and another vote of confidence for the legal profession.
Zevon's demons were obviously in proper orbit when this mad minor masterpiece was hatched.

 Excitable Boy by Warren Zevon CD
While his more genteel peers were primarily concerned with taking it easy, Zevon crawled under the seedy side of L.A. and poured it into his ivories, taking in every ounce of decadence and excess.
That the sound and overall musical mood of the record is upbeat underscores Zevon's ability to attach a winning melody to a gallow's tale.
The home runs are the instantly memorable "Werewolves of London," the murderous glee of "Excitable Boy," and the affecting "Accidentally Like a Martyr." The inclusion of obvious filler cuts detract from the overall focus of the record but that is a small complaint.

He was an honorary member of the Rock Bottom Rockers, a rock band of writers, including Barry and Stephen King.
I read through the list of his songs and I think, "Boy, that's great song" and "That's another great song" and "I love that song." I think music and musicians can move us more than any other art form, perhaps because its the art-form that is least like the world that we love it most.
I do know that now when I hear "Lawyers, Guns, and Money" I'll once again enjoy the sardonic lyrics and the driving refrain, but I'll listen with a certain melancholy because no more songs like that will ever again sound in this world.

He learned only a few weeks ago that persistent breathing difficulties, which he had naively blamed on exercise or, at worst, treatable congestive heart failure, were in fact death knells.
After early success with 1978's Excitable Boy, which contained his only pop hit, Werewolves of London, Zevon battled alcoholism until the mid-'80s.
