Thanks for this. The first tunes of W.Z.'s that I had heard were in '79. Like most others, but when I did, get his first self titled album, I left it on the turntable to repeat for hours sometimes. There are so many great songs on it. I remember reading Warren comment in an interview around 1980,.."Ive had six years to prepare for my first album, and the record company wants me to have the second album ready in six months! I'd like to just hear what the Bon Jovi dudes say about this here tune.
Californication and other TV series who use great old songs, show that the best music has already been made and comparing with most of the songs from this days, these are pure class.
@alecs89 Well said. Californication's producers (or whoever is) have this amazing ability to choose songs from the past century that most viewers have never heard in their lives but still sound fresh. That's what I feel, at least. I would never guess this song was from 1969 - not even an option if I had to guess!
@djclucindo and the californication people have an affinity for warren zevon I have heard about 4 or 5 zevon songs that never really got any airplay in their day.
This is the first time I have heard this cut from Warren's first album. It's primitive but showing how good of a song writer and musician he was early on. Warren was an underrated performer as and lyricist. It's too bad this album didn't do better. Warren left some great music behind.
There was only one Warren Zevon. He WAS a genius in the world of music.

@dreameratw1 I'm not sure. You can google music for this show and you should find a site that tells you all the songs that played in the episode.
