Music reviews of Excitable Boy
Music Review: A Zevon smash
Rating: 5 Stars
I've long been a Warren Zevon fan. After reading his biography, authored by his late wife Crystal, it brought me even closer to the material and gave me greater insight into the man and his music. Buttressed by the fantatic musicianship of legendary LA session men Waddy Wachtel, Leland Sklar, Rick Marotta, et al the music excites, inspires and sets your feet tappin'. Zevon was a favorite of Dylan, Springsteen, Jackson Brown and coutnless others. Listening to his music leaves no doubt as to why. If you don't have it. Get it! You won't be disappointed.
Description of Excitable Boy
It's really too bad that Warren Zevon had to die before hearing how spectacular his albums sounded in these latter-day remasters. Excitable Boy remains his best-known document, awash with blood and guts (especially on the horror-laden title track) and a famous, phenomenal touch of lycanthropy. The trick is in Zevon's ironic distance, his dispatch of killer narratives that touch on mercenary internationalism and undeserved indulgence in due course. Zevon's writing is musically simple--pianos and guitars and mid-tempo pacing--and those touches here only underscore how crisp the remastering sounds. To wit: The raucous undertow of "Lawyers, Guns, and Money" is delirious and ironically rhapsodic. As for "Werewolves of London," it's here twice (once in the expanded rack of four additional tunes) in all its tilted glory. As for the other extra content, "I Need a Truck" is the short gem, a 50-second a cappella litany of Zevon's raffish ways: "I need a truck to haul my percodan and gin" and one to "haul the womens from my bed," he sings... followed by this apt note, "I need a truck to haul my body when I'm dead." He had a mordant side. --Andrew BartlettAlbum-Oriented Rock (AOR) CDs
