Warren Zevon: Desperado of Los Angeles by George Plasketes
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2 MB
Overview: Warren Zevon was one of the most original songwriters to emerge from the prolific 1970s Los Angeles music scene. Beyond his most familiar song the rollicking 1978 hit Werewolves of London Zevon s smart, often satirical songbook is rich with cinematic, literary, and comic qualities; dark narratives; complex characters; popular culture references; and tender, romantic ballads of parting and longing. Warren Zevon: Desperado of Los Angeles is the first book-length, critical exploration of one of popular music s most talented and tormented antiheroes. George Plasketes provides a comprehensive chronicle of Zevon s 40-year, 20-record career and his enduring cultural significance. Beginning with Zevon s classical training and encounters as a youth with composers Robert Craft and Igor Stravinsky, Plasketes surveys Zevon s initiation into the 1960s through the Everly Brothers, the Turtles, and the film Midnight Cowboy. Plasketes then follows Zevon from his debut album with Asylum Records in 1976, produced by mentor Jackson Browne, through his successes and struggles from a Top Ten album to record label limbo during the 1980s, through a variety of music projects in the 1990s, including soundtracks and scores, culminating with a striking trio of albums in the early 2000s.
