	Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy
		Warren Zevon may be as friend on cocaine, burritos, and Perrier as the next laddie of the canyons, or he may not be.
		Zevon's second album proves to be a more balanced and cohesive set of true-to-life tales of day-to-day living.
		Zevon's first album was critically acclaimed, and this followup should add further credibility to the artist's songwriting ability.

	Warren Zevon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Warren Zevon was born to a Russian Jewish father and a Mormon mother and soon moved to California.
		Zevon turned to a musical career early, including a stretch as part of a Sonny and Cher-type male/female duo called lyme and cybelle (a band whose correct spelling is all lower case), and he spent time as a session musician (notably as piano player and band leader for the Everly Brothers) and jingle composer.
		Zevon's son, Jordan Zevon, did a large part of the work on the album and performed "Studebaker," a previously unreleased Warren Zevon composition.

	Amazon.ca: Excitable Boy: Music: Warren Zevon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Excitable Boy's 1976 predecessor (Warren Zevon) may be a more consistent album, but this is the one that put Zevon in the public consciousness as someone to keep an eye on--for protection as well as promise.
		To celebrate Warren Zevon is to understand that he produced recordings with a bent, a unique perspective on life and in this album, love and death.
		Warren Zevon made several other great albums, but "Excitable Boy" was the moment that his youthful exuberance and a mind uncluttered by too many foreign substances produced a stunner.

	Warren Zevon
		Warren Zevon, the Excitable Boy, the Envoy, the Werewolf of West Hollywood.

		Warren Zevon has taken precisely as long between albums as the recalcitrant Michael Jackson, and without a pause to have his face worked on.

		But Zevon, whose previous drugs-and-booze lifestyle led him to be dubbed "the wild man of rock," is apparently the first to record the song after being diagnosed with a fatal illness and learning he had only three months to live.
		Zevon collaborated on the album with Jorge Calderon, a pal since 1972 who had persuaded the increasingly short-of-breath musician to pay his first visit to a doctor in two decades.
		Warren Zevon is too ill to do any interviews for what, barring a miracle, is his last album of new material.

	Warren Zevon, Singer-Songwriter, Dies at 56
		Zevon had a pulp-fiction imagination that yielded songs like "Werewolves of London," "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me," "Lawyers, Guns and Money" and "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead." They were terse, action-packed, gallows-humored tales that could sketch an entire screenplay in four minutes and often had death as a punchline.
		Zevon was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a type of tumor that can occur in the membranes around the lungs, that had advanced too far for treatment, and given a few months to live.
		Zevon's album "Excitable Boy" reached the Top 10 with its own hit single, "Werewolves of London." He was married and divorced twice in the 1970's and 1980's, and had two children, Jordan and Ariel.

	Warren Zevon \| View the Music Artists Biography Online \| VH1.com
		One of the most acute and savagely satiric songwriters of his era, Warren Zevon was born in Chicago on January 24, 1947.
		Following a 1974 sabbatical to Spain, Zevon returned to Los Angeles, where his longtime friend Jackson Browne had secured him a recording deal; with Browne in the producer's seat, Zevon cut a self-titled offering which was met with lavish critical praise upon its 1976 release.
		However, Zevon had fallen prey to alcoholism, and his personal demons sidelined him for the next two years; 1980s Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School and 1981's live set Stand in the Fire marked his gradual return to form, and the promise of his early work was restored on 1982's brilliant release The Envoy.

	Warren Zevon Wind CD
