  • I miss you Warren....

  • The REAL star of this track is Waddy. It's who Keith Richards would call for work if Keith were recording a solo album. Oh, he did? Twice? Well, there you go.

  • You can't. Now everyone gets to see what perverts we are.

    .

  • COOL, thanks for sharing, no dislikes after 3 yrs ! thats gotta be good ?

    R.I.P. Warren Zevon..

  • Still missing his talent RIP Warren!!

  • Thank you for all the work and info you put into this video. I love Warren but learned quite a bit. I do appreciate it. I still miss him, but I see that there are many others that do also. We Wont' Forget! Thank you for posting.

  • Love you Warren...style and class... one of the coolest dudes ever! RIP

  • Great cover of an excellent song. RIP Warren!

  • Bonnie Raitt played slide guitar on this track not David Lindley, Waddy Wachtel is who is kicking your ass playing rythm guitar (love his tone) with that bonecrunching Les Paul of his.

  • @cyflcommish t/y for the point out you know how ballsy bonnie is

    taking on a part originally done by lindley have to think most would

    say 'lindley? no way im touching anything he did'

    but bonnie shines just like always

    & t/y for the tubish and

    peace

  • I was looking for the slide guitar credit and then I went "Duh!" It's Ms. Raitt and she tears it up.

  • @gustavoPJones

    I think that slide guitar is being played by David Lindley, he has worked with both Browne, and Zevon

  • @revidffum He was my first thought that it really sounds like him, but Raitt is a great slide guitarist and she isn't singing that much on the track. So, now I'm back to wondering.

  • @gustavoPJones

    I'm thinking Raitt is playing the main guitar track. Browne is a great singer song writer, and he can pull off that rhythm chord that's going on the whole time, but he's not pulling off the melody, and singing, that's just my opinion though. He is capable, but why, when you're surrounded by great musicians like Lindley and Raitt?

  • Of course I couldn't read the Ronstadt album title I, along with any other man who is alive, was looking at her nipples.

  • still smokin!!!!!

  • Warren was called the song writer's,song writer by Bob Dylan....you either get him or you don't

  • good video man, love jackson browne, only recentley got into zevons music, loving it. i'm more than half way through his book, dirty life and times: i'll sleep when im dead, very good read

  • I'm sorry but the real version is so much better, this version is boring.

  • @Ihateworking1  AMEN

  • I loved the live version where he breaks into Cadillac Ranch but it got lifted ! Please put it back it was classic!!!!

  • More cowbell.

  • Irony ...Linda Ronstandt thinking this was a sad song .... not the tounge in cheek , sarcasm as Warren wrtote it. Hey he had bills in the early 70's

  • Nice licks Bonni! You're a credit to your gender.

  • utterly lame that they skip the last (and best) verse.

  • *****

    A Quiet Normal Life. Did they change the title?

    Is it the same album? Are there desperadoes

    under the eaves? What a songwriter. What a loss.

    .

  • I think "A Quiet Normal Life" is a Zevon best of, this is a tribute to him. :) Agreed on the extent of the loss.

  • I've been listening to a different version of this, and they removed it! I was so mad for a few weeks, and I just found this version. Thanks so much!

  • love u warren

  • Thanks for this, I loved Zevon's work. One correction though. The Linda Ronstadt cover was on her "Simple Dreams" album, not "Hasten Down The Wind". (The two albums were released less than a year apart, so the tracks are often confused.)

  • Enjoy every sandwich -cause most of the world makes me sick ! !

  • RIP -na, that'd be to boring ! Thanks for sharing !!

  • rockin tribute

    thnx 4 the 'tube

  • could you post "jesus mentioned"? and also tyvm for this!

  • WOW! This song rocks!

    The rythmn section is great.

    (Is it a crime to say I like it better than the original, which I also like a lot ?)

  • Great audio!  Thanks for posting my fave Warren composition from this great album!

  • The other obscure genius singer/songwriter/musician referenced is the late great Stuart Adamson of Big Country and The Raphaels.If you are a Zevon fan I'm sure you would like them.And I agree with you Clevererouge.the riff does remind me of King of Emotion.

  • Brilliant version, although I swear that's the riff from Big Countrys' King of Emotion. Another obscure genius songwriter. All covers of this tune seem to lose the 4th verse of the original... too un-PC I guess.

  • Well done. You can tell this is a tribute and a labor of love.

  • Nice version and nice to have all those facts. I don't know much about Zevon, I just like this song.

  • when u doing the other albums??

  • very nice ooaman, this song is a great way to make you smile. Cant wait for "my ride's here"
