With that out of the way. Today I tell you about one of the albums I love. Warren Zevon's A Quiet Normal Life. If you don't think you know Warren Zevon, you totally do.
Wow! Look at that video remember when music videos could mostly be about the band playing...neither do I, I was born in the 80's.
Mr. Zevon was a songwriter whose songs got famous when other people did covers of them. Widly respected by other artists, but unknown to a huge chunk of the population aside from Werewolves of London*. This next video is hopefully going to rectify that for you. Probably my favorite Zevon song. I'll admit it, I originally picked up on this song, because I was obsessed with the Dark Tower novels, and their hero (another gunman named Roland).
This album is full of mostly dark songs that will get stuck in your head. I could rant about how awesome this album is from beginning to end, but you can find out for yourself. Amazon sells the entire album for 5 dollars via mp3 downloads. Go now, and get this album. Unless you can't handle songs, about a headless bounty hunter, and werewolves that mutilate little old ladies**. After all these are not werewolves of teenage fiction.
*Some may feel the need to mention Kid Rock. Don't. He will be forgotten soon, as Ronnie Van Zant, and Warren Zevon will rise from the grave, and fix the problem that has besmirched their musics' great names. Or they may just hire Roland to do the deed (once he's done in Libya).
**Fair warning, the song Excitable Boy is about a psychopathic rapists. He's not idolized in the song he's just the subject matter, but if that's a sore spot feel free to delete this song after downloading.
