Best album: WARREN ZEVON (1976) — one of the top 20 albums by anybody. Maybe top 10.

Best song: “Desperados Under the Eaves”

I wondered if I’d find you here. Warren Zevon really studied with Stravinsky? That’s cool.

When he was 13. ....and for a year or two after that. Zevon’s parents were Russian immigrants, so perhaps they knew Igor.

Good taste there, Keltik. That's my favorite Zevon song by a wide margin. Like the album (his debut), love the song. Subsequent albums were disappointments.
