WARREN ZEVON

The Envoy (Expanded & Remastered)

$11.98 CD

The reflective 1982 masterpiece Zevon once described as "The Excitable Boy Grows Up," The Envoy makes its CD debut with this release. Highlights include the title track, the moving "Never Too Late For Love," "The Hula Hula Boys," and "The Overdraft," a co-write with novelist Thomas McGuane featuring a ripping Lindsey Buckingham solo. Four previously unreleased tracks include outtakes of "Word Of Mouth" and "Wild Thing," and the romantically skewed gem "Let Nothing Come Between You." Liner notes by Rolling Stone editor David Wild.

The late Warren Zevon is one of rock's most unique and idiosyncratic artists—as well as one of its most cerebral. Blending intellect, passion, biting wit, cinematic storytelling flair, and unflinching observations, Zevon's body of work is a too-often-overlooked treasure trove of singer-songwriter brilliance. Before emerging as a solo artist out of the Los Angeles music scene with an acclaimed Jackson Browne-produced debut in 1976, Zevon's eclectic resume included stints in the duo Lyme & Cybelle and as the Everly Brothers' pianist.
