Rock Talk Remembers Warren Zevon

Rock Talk Remembers Warren Zevon

Some described him using his own song titles: "Exciteable Boy"  "Genius" - Bruce Springsteen called him "a moralist in cynic's clothing" and, simply, "one of THE great American songwriters."

Warren Zevon was best known for his biggest radio hit, "Werewolves of London," but the depth and breadth of his songwriting catalogue earned him the admiration of such luminaries as Springsteen, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Linda Ronstadt, the Eagles and many others.

Listen as Greg Godovitz and Bob Reid speak with one of the people who knew Warren Zevon best, his ex-wife Crystal Zevon, author of "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead: The Dirty Life and Times of Warren Zevon.  They're also joined by Craig Northey of the Vancouver-based band The Odds, who served as Warren's backing band on tour across Canada and the U.S., and Toronto singer-songwriter Blair Packham closes the show with a live acoustic performance of Zevon's classic "Carmelita."
