Warren Zevon (Vinyl)

Few of rock & roll's great misanthropes were as talented, as charming, or as committed to their cynicism as Warren Zevon. 

Zevon's 1976 self titled album was produced by close friend Jackson Browne and featured Zevon's former roommates Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks (who had since found stardom in Fleetwood Mac), as well as Bonnie Raitt and several members of the Eagles. It didn't sell especially well but won rave reviews, and Linda Ronstadt would give Zevon her seal of approval by covering three tunes from the album, making the track Poor Pitiful Me a hit in the process.
