Music Review: Genius: Best of Warren Zevon
Rating: 5 Stars
Sigh. The post office misdelivered this, and the receipient denied getting it (even though it was tracked to their house). I believe that it had been shipped perfectly fine. I do need to get another though. Well, technically not another since I didn't get the first. So, I need to get one.
Description of Genius: Best of Warren Zevon
A Comprehensive Single disc collection from Rocks Sardonic King. It rounds up the 22 most popular tracks from albums released by Asylum, Virgin, Giant/Reprise and Artemis from 1976-2002. Features such Zevon classics as 'Werewolves Of London,' 'Excitable Boy,' 'Lawyers, Guns and Money,' 'Poor Poor Pitiful Me,' 'I Was In The House When The House Burned Down' and more. Elektra/Rhino. 2002.On the evidence of this 22-track career overview, it's tempting to call Warren Zevon's oeuvre a monument of pop-music dichotomy. But that assessment would sorely shortchange Zevon's vast catalog of contradictions: the sentimental songwriter ("Hasten Down the Wind") with a nihilistic heart of darkness who makes the likes of Jello Biafra seem more like Raffi by comparison; the shrewd, successful tunesmith nonetheless laboring in service of vintage psycho-whack like "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner," "Excitable Boy," and "Werewolves of London"; a man who consorted with Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, and R.E.M. ("Boom Boom Mancini") and yet who still cheated the devil of his soul; a satirist with the keen eye of a marksman--or Randy Newman, for that matter--who somehow let his own demise get the jump on him, despite having written prescient jollities like "Mr. Bad Example" and Life'll Kill Ya. In short, Zevon walked it like he talked it, peril be damned. If he felt like turning in a straight-up take of the R&B chestnut "A Certain Girl," or lumbering inexplicably through Prince's "Raspberry Beret," only then to turn on a dime and indulge his classical pretenses on "Mutineer" and "Genius," so be it. Zevon just couldn't help himself from living up to this album's modest title. --Jerry McCulley
