Description: | Excitable Boy established Warren Zevon as rock??s gonzo figurehead ?? or, as Jackson Browne aptly called him, ??the first and foremost proponent of song noir.? A supreme collision of over-caffeinated energy, acerbic wit, dark humor, irreverent reporting, bittersweet romance, swept-under-the-rug truth, and illicit desire sent up with booze, pills, and therapist confessions, the breakthrough album zeroes in on frightening aspects of American culture with an incisiveness that??s even sharper today than upon the effort??s release in 1978. Its hard-boiled narratives owe to a tradition established by Raymond Chandler, continued by Hunter S. Thompson, and carried into the 21st century by Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul creator Vince Gilligan. And the music has never sounded so excitable. - Zevon's 1977 smash on CD or vinyl! Lawyers, Guns and Money; Werewolves of London, and more!?& 1978 Elektra/Asylum Records
