Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy [Remastered & Extended]

Excitable Boy was originally released by Warren Zevon in 1978 and had more than a touch of the 'dark' about it.  Zevon may have been from California but his dreaming was of Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner and Werewolves Of London which were certainly a little 'different' to the norm in the way of song titles.

Produced by Jackson Browne and Waddy Wachtel, and with musicians including Kenny Edwards, Leland Sklar, Russell Kunkel, and Wachtel himself, and back-up singers including Browne, Edwards, Wachtel, John David Souther, Karla Bonoff, Jennifer Warnes, and Linda Ronstadt.

Excitable Boy is full of ballads and rockers about everything from love to mercenaries, Warren Zevon was a songwriter with an extremely vivid imagination.
