Warren Zevon - Avé Maria

Warren Zevon: vocals
Michael Wolff: piano

"Now we came to the late Warren Zevon, one of my dearest friends. An extremely creative, one of a kind singer-songwriter, Warren took his singing very seriously.
When I asked him to sing these two songs, he worked very hard on them. He came into the studio dressed for the occasion in a beautiful gray suit, totally prepared to give his all. He had a back story for each song.
For Mel Thorme's "The Christmas Song", Warren told me he was the divorced father at the bar on Christmas Eve who wasn't allowed to see his kids.
On "Avé Maria", he was the soundtrack under a hit in a Martin Scorcese moovie. This was just like Warren, to put his creativity and dark view of life into two Christmas standards.
And he does them beautifully.

I miss Warren very much and I dedicated this CD to him and his memory.
I am so prood that he was my friend, and that he agreed to do something he had never done before, which was to record simply as a singer, on my Xmas CD to boot."

Michael Wolff.

@SolSorrell The restrictions are man-made. RIP Warren

I wish someone could have found a priest to give Warren the last rites. I think he would have wanted that. He wanted to be a Catholic, thus he believed in Christianity. I'm really sorry a priest wasn't with him when he passed.
