Negative Positive
Title: not bad but not great
Review: This record is a bit spare and some of the one-person versions of the songs could seriously use a backup band, but it only goes to showcase what a great musician Zevon is. A couple of the songs did, alas, drag on, and "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" got seriously boring before the lyrics even kicked in, but "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" is just fun however you play it. Verdict: kind of like eating a bag of jelly beans. Some flavors are real stinko, and on the whole it's not very filling, but once in a while you find a great flavor and it's over too quickly.
