Warren William Zevon (January 24, 1947 - September 7, 2003) was an American rock singer-songwriter and musician noted for including his strange, sardonic opinions of life in his musical lyrics, composing songs that were sometimes humorous and often had political or historical themes.

Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy (1978 us, remarkable folkish groovy rock, 2007 remaster and expanded) Despite his many affiliations within Los Angeles’ session scene, Warren Zevon was a struggling songwriter who was going nowhere in a hurry when his pal Jackson Browne convinced Asylum Records to take a chance on signing him.

- To the ill-informed above calling Warren Zevon a no-talent hack and whatnot, your narrow-mindedness astounds me. Warren was a top notch songwriter worthy of mention alongside Bruce, Neil Young, Dylan and all the greats you can think of.
- The one Letterman show where Warren was the ONLY guest on the show. Putting together that band with Mills/Buck/Berry from REM and did a cover of Prince's 'Raspberry Beret.' The unforgettable Larry Sanders episode which featured Zevon, John Ritter and Gene Siskel (all who have since gone to their great reward by the way).
