Speaking of which, I need to get the version of Zevon's 1980 live album with all of the bonus tracks.

@t_heislen @InUnfunky @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @Charles_Hawtrey

The album that gave us 1990's Hindu Love Gods.

@Bix @t_heislen @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @Charles_Hawtrey

ALL MUST BOW BEFORE THIS ALBUM. BOW I SAY!

Thanks, good stuff

@Bix @t_heislen @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @Charles_Hawtrey

It's all just the Zevon on piano and git, MDB. My fave. 🤓

@Bix @t_heislen @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @Charles_Hawtrey

Awwwww come ON man

I see that the Hindu Love Gods started playing live shows in 1986 and released one 7 inch, as the Brits call their 45's, in '86.

@t_heislen @Bix @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Charles_Hawtrey

I always find it remarkable that Mick Fleetwood and John McVie were the rhythm section on Werewolves of London, along with Zevon buddy Waddy Wachtel.

@tgraph52 @t_heislen @Bix @CanisPundit @Charles_Hawtrey

Then Mick and McV and Christine did this to help Bob out...

I bought that album when it was new and still have it unless it was stolen along with many others during a move which is what I think as I haven't noticed it while looking through my LP's. It had top notch players all throughout.

Bob Glaub- bass

Jeff Porcaro- drums

Warren Zevon - Night Time In The Switching Yard

@Charles_Hawtrey @t_heislen @Bix @InUnfunky @CanisPundit

I picked that up new too and we played Lawyers Guns and Money and Johnny Strikes Up the Band from it.

Then I found his earlier LP in a cut-out bin for $1. I like that one better than Excitable Boy really.

@tgraph52 @t_heislen @Bix @InUnfunky @CanisPundit

I used to do Lawyers, Guns and Money too, always a crowd pleaser along with just being fun to play. I love the whole Excitable Boy album, my local, WBCN played the crap out of it, they probably had half the album in rotation. I've heard the earlier one, I'll have to pick it up again.

@Charles_Hawtrey @t_heislen @Bix @InUnfunky @CanisPundit

The earlier one is a little remarkable for having 4 songs on it that Linda Ronstadt covered.

@tgraph52 @t_heislen @Bix @InUnfunky @CanisPundit

Yeah, I knew she did a few covers from Warren. I may even have the CD, I have a lot of his stuff.

@Charles_Hawtrey @t_heislen @Bix @InUnfunky @CanisPundit

Hasten Down the Wind
Poor Poor Pitiful Me
Mohammed's Radio
Carmelita

and there's one even before that.. but it's really not that good

@Charles_Hawtrey @tgraph52 @Bix @InUnfunky @CanisPundit I still play Lawyers near the end of the night sometimes - mentioning that it might remind people of someone's sons who show up in the news now and again....

some pretty brilliant story telling in those lyrics

@tgraph52 @t_heislen @Charles_Hawtrey @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Mfieck

some pretty lyrics here

@Bix @tgraph52 @t_heislen @Charles_Hawtrey @InUnfunky @CanisPundit

🤣

@Bix @t_heislen @Charles_Hawtrey @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Mfieck

I hope they allow him to use Big Bottom... Gotta love 3 basses at the front of the stage, one being a double neck

@tgraph52 @t_heislen @Bix @InUnfunky @CanisPundit

Waddy hated it along with Zevon, it was a throwaway and they were aghast when the record company picked it as a single. 😂
