Build A Best Of - Warren Zevon

Scott at My Thermos is keeping this thing going (his last one was a best of Chicago,) so I'm taking a turn to add my favorites from the Warren Zevon discography. And, by the way, that's my favorite Zevon picture, too. You can see the snark all over his face.

These are in no particular order:

Those Incredible Stories: These pretty much explain themselves. Warren could paint a vivid word picture, and these are the best.

Werewolves Of London
Roland, The Headless Thompson Gunner
Boom Boom Mancini
Porcelain Monkey

Snarky Classics: His genius at work, with an evil grin.

Lawyers, Guns, And Money
Excitable Boy
Splendid Isolation
Poor, Poor Pitiful Me
Life'll Kill Ya

The Softer Side: You can see glimpses inside his heart in each of these.

Keep Me In Your Heart - This is from his final album, and he asks family, friends, and fans to keep him in our hearts for awhile. I still do.
Reconsider Me -
Tenderness On The Block
Hasten Down The Wind
Mutineer - On his final appearance on his pal Dave Letterman's show, he performed this song. I cried right through it. (You can find Warren singing this on YouTube, but I just can't watch it right now. If you go to the 4:01 point on the clip, he sings Mutineer.)


Now, enjoy every sandwich, people.
