Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon

Just stumbled upon this video called Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon in YouTube. Watch out for the hairy faced guy in the video.



Also found another rare song by the same artist called Roll With the Punches - Warren Zevon. This song was featured on an episode of Tales from the Crypt known as "King of the Road".



Just found out that Warren William Zevon was a Grammy Award-winning American rock singer-songwriter and musician. He was noted for his offbeat, sardonic view of life which was reflected in his dark, sometimes humorous songs, which often incorporated political or historical themes. Warren Zevon died on September 7, 2003, aged 56, from mesothelioma (a form of cancer associated with exposure to asbestos, and also the same cancer that killed Steve McQueen). His last album released was The Wind, which included guest appearances by close friends including Bruce Springsteen, Don Henley, Jackson Browne, Timothy B. Schmit, Joe Walsh, David Lindley, Billy Bob Thornton, Emmylou Harris, Tom Petty, and others.

Excitable Boy is THE album to have by Warren. Every song on it is a winner. One of the greatest. "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner", "Werewolves of London", "Lawyers, Guns and Money".

Hi Wisekwai,
Thanks for sharing these songs. I just listened to "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" and "Lawyers, Guns and Money" and I really enjoyed them.

Cheers.
