On “Werewolves Of London” we have John McVie and Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac playing bass and drums. So a nice coincidence that will only be interesting to me. I go from right to left through my randomly stacked albums and choose something I haven’t reviewed yet. My system of choosing albums to review is systematic i.e. (Browne also contributed vocally on this album). Jackson Browne produced Excitable Boy which is weird because I just posted my review of Browne’s Running On Empty and in my “research” for that discovered that Browne produced two albums by Zevon. It was making the music that seemed to be the driving force. Have we lost that? I mean Warren Zevon, Al Stewart, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, etc were all intelligent, gifted artists not necessarily in the business just to get product out there to market. It seems to me that at one time popular music had a large number of clever artists making creative music and with interesting subjects.

There are some heartfelt songs as well such as “Accidentally Like A Martyr”. But the album is clever and funny like the song “Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner”. Both good songs.Īnyway I’m not sure how I got this album which is either a function of my worsening memory or some other reason I can’t recall. The driving piano riff is infectious and somewhat similar to Lynard Skynard’s “Sweet Home Alabama” piano riff. The reason I know about Warren Zevon is his fantastic “Werewolves Of London” song from this 1978 album Excitable Boy.
