In two ballads co-written with Jorge Calderón, though, he found the voice for a songwriter’s farewell. ![]() Unfortunately, his prognosis is the same.” It doesn’t seem likely that Zevon will be appearing in public again. A PR person for Artemis says, “Some days are better than others for him. He lived to finish the record and to see his grandchildren born. “July 2003: Warren is still alive,” the official bio says, and that’s that. It’d feel like a gimmick if the guest stars weren’t so well-used-Cooder’s plangent guitar on “Dirty Life & Times,” Henley and Schmit’s sympathetic vocal backing on “She’s Too Good for Me,” Walsh reprising the gutbucket pleasures of “Rocky Mountain Way” in “Rub Me Raw.”Įven Zevon’s record label seems to grasp that this is a moment to keep it simple. Schmit, Jackson Browne, T-Bone Burnett, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Emmylou Harris-a Murderer’s Row of singer-songwriter talent. Other old friends and co-conspirators are in the mix: longtime collaborator Jorge Calderón, plus Ry Cooder, Don Henley, Timothy B. Even funny and very Zevonesque tropes like “I’m sprawled across the davenport of despair” are mounted in a setting of creeping decay (” Disorder in the House,” with a raging guitar lead by Bruce Springsteen). The album was a sales failure, prompting Lindas exit from Capitol Records See Linda Ronstadt pictures, photo shoots, and listen online to the latest music Okay, maybe that’s a bold statement, but so was 22-year-old Linda Ronstadt’s panty-less debut on the Johnny Cash TV show in 1969 As the venue was idle after sundown, a young tour. It’s a mantle the record wears gracefully, though, in ways both small (the keening crunch of David Lindley’s lap steel guitar, a sound so recognizable to anyone who was there in the ‘70s that it’s sure to induce a small shock of sense memory) and big: The familiar outlaw-on-the-run motif of ” Dirty Life & Times“ holds an unmistakable sense of the clock running down. It’s not surprising that this part of Zevon’s sensibility is front and center on The Wind (Artemis Records), or that the project carries with it a valedictory air.
