Review title: What did he know? When did he know it?
Product review: Warren Zevon's recent annoucement of his termnal illness puts this work (and his last - Life'll Kill You) in a whole other realm. His condition seems to have come as a complete surprise on one level. On another level, he was right there.Warren Zevon has been one of the most literary of song writers; a close reading of his lyrics is always worth the extra effort. And whether he's trying to pull you in for a ride on a crazy merry-go-round leading you for a grasp at the cynical brass ring, or coming straight for your soul with a bullet of pure "Empty Handed Heart" feeling, he's always had the goods.Warren has long history of collaborative song writing, and in My Ride's Here he's dialoging with some great writers on what's coming up soon for him, and only a little later for the rest of us. Grace and humor under pressure. Start here and work your way back through the catalog; you can't go wrong.
