Ep 61: "Excitable Boys" Part 4: Warren Zevon in the 2000's

Author: playthatpodcast June 23, 2023 Duration: 1:19:25
"Play That Rock n' Roll" proudly presents the fourth and final part of a special mini-series that details the incredible life and career of songwriter Warren Zevon. We are joined by my friend Chris to explore Zevon's full studio catalog, broken down by decade. In this episode, we cover Warren's three studio albums from the 2000's, how he faced his terminal cancer diagnosis, his memorable final appearance on David Letterman's show, and how his rockstar contemporaries rallied around him for his final project, and also a tribute album for him after he passed away in September 2003.

Ever put on a record and feel like you're stepping into a different time? That's the space where Play That Rock n‘ Roll lives. This isn't just a playlist or a dry history lesson. It's a conversation about the music that built an era, hosted by playthatpodcast. Each episode digs into the albums that defined generations, the artists who lived the myth, and the often-overlooked stories behind the anthems we all know by heart. We're talking about the raw energy of the late '60s, the sprawling ambition of the '70s, and the seismic shifts that followed. You'll hear about the studio experiments that went wrong (and sometimes brilliantly right), the cultural moments that shaped the songs, and the legacies that continue to echo. It's for anyone who wants to go deeper than the greatest hits, to understand not just what was played, but why it still matters. This podcast is a part of Pantheon Podcasts, offering a dedicated look at the soundtrack of a revolution. So, crank it up and join us as we revisit the riffs, the solos, and the sheer attitude that made classic rock an enduring force. New episodes drop regularly, ready to fuel your next deep dive into music history.
