HOW MUSIC CHANGED, HONORABLE MENTION – WARREN ZEVON

PLAY THE SHOW

With today’s show, we continue our series on ‘How Music Changed’ by taking a close look at another ‘honorable mention’ artist. Warren Zevon may not have changed the world, but he certainly left enough of an imprint to remembered for a long, long while. By combining outrageous characters with autobiographical details, Zevon brought his own personal zeal to each of his songs. His popularity rose and fell, depending on the whims of our cultural zeitgeist, but he never pandered to trends; his style remained fairly consistent from the time of his first ‘real’ solo album in 1976 until his death in 2004.
Today’s show celebrates his career, with the following songs;
1) Werewolves of London – (from “Excitable Boy”)
