Jackson Browne produced the album and also enlisted some of the West
Coast’s biggest names to help out, including members of the Eagles,
Fleetwood Mac, David Lindley and J.D. Souther. Providing Zevon with
an
outlet for his pent-up creativity, he unleashed a barrage of sharply
observed songs that pulse with dark wit and sophisticated melodies.
Many of his best-known tracks are included here, such as “Hasten Down
The Wind,” “Poor Poor Pitiful Me,” “Carmelita” and “Mohammed’s Radio”
— all of which were later covered by Linda Ronstadt. The album also
contains “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead,” “Frank And Jesse James” and
“Desperados Under The Eaves,” a song Zevon wrote about staying at the
Hollywood Hawaiian Motel with no way to pay his bill.
