“...on its own artistic terms it is almost a complete success. Who could  have imagined a concept album about Los Angeles that is funny, enlightening,  musical, at moments terrifying and above all funny?”
 —Stephen Holden for Rolling Stone Magazine, 1976

The late Warren Zevon’s 1976 debut for Asylum Records showcases the  artist’s songwriting genius, sardonic wit and blazing intelligence. The album  was produced by his friend and fellow singer-songwriter Jackson Browne,  who helped Zevon secure a record deal with Asylum, and also plays  guitar and sings harmony on the release. While Zevon rose to fame out of the  influential Southern California music scene of the ’70s, his take on the world  was anything but sunny—WARREN ZEVON reels through unforgettable tracks  about a rogue’s gallery of reckless souls, introducing classics including: “I’ll  Sleep When I’m Dead,” “Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me,” “Desperados Under The  Eaves,” and “Hasten Down The Wind.” Rhino’s expanded 2-CD edition of  Zevon’s masterpiece presents the remastered original album on Disc One.  Bonus Disc Two features 15 previously unissued tracks, including an  alternate version of every song from the original release.
