4.0 out of 5 stars Best tribute album ever?, 7 April 2006
By M. Lyle (Larne, N Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Enjoy Every Sandwich: The Songs of Warren Zevon (Audio CD)
This is a rare thing, namely a quality tribute album. It all starts slowly though, with several near note for note cover versions starting things off. Its Spingsteen's live version of "My Ride's Here" that gets things going. Zevon's own version lacked the gravitas generated here by the artist's then recent death...I am no Springsteen fan but I love this version, its a fantastic example of a covering artist adding something extra to what was actually a fairly flat original song.

the next treat features Jordan Zevon singing "Studebaker", a track unknown to me. What a gem! All life's problems are wonderfully sublimated into "that damned Studebaker...[that]keeps on breaking down again". And then there is the very strange inclusion of "The Wind". Zevon's last album was of course entitled "The Wind", but no track of the same name appears on the album. Did he pass away before recording it? Or simply change his mind about including it? Or somehow forget?

The liner notes are of no help whatsoever either on this or any other track. A little biographical detail on each song and artist would have helped a lot. Anyway, Billy Bob does a great job on the track, which really does belong at the end of "The Wind". The third stand-out track has to be the Pixies' version of "A'int that pretty at all". It has to be played loudly to be fully appreciated, but anyone who has found the experience of travelling to be over-rated can sing along meaninglfully to this one.

The album does have low points- Jill Sobule could smash glass with her high-pitched singing on "D'ont let us get sick", and i have to race toward my stereo to switch off this track immediately whenever it starts playing. The other lamentable track is Dylan's painful live version of "Mutineer", complete with some of the worst piano playing imaginable courtesy of the great man himself.

For those not familiar with Dylan's eccentricities this song's inclusion will be utterly baffling. As it happens, Dylan performs live concerts all the time; not content with having the largest back catalogue of his own songs to draw from he often performs cover versions of other people's songs. Seldom if ever are the songs rehearsed, and what you get is either a classic performance or a simple catastrophy. "Mutineer" sadly falls into the latter category.

What is even more shocking though is that Dylan performed several other cover versions of Zevon songs during the same Californian tour which could easily have been used here . "Accidently" sounded rather like "Mutineer" admittedly, but his version of "Lawyers" was excellent, allowing us the rare chance to hear Dylan sing a curse word in a live show. The pick of those Dylan covers that shoud have been on this Zevon album though is his take on "Boom Boom Mancini", one of my favourite Zevon songs which Dylan absolutely aces.

Dylan's son also sneaks in on the album, with his band the Wallflowers performing a decent "Lawyers". The final track, a string version of "Keep me in your heart", is an excellent way to finish things off given that Zevon's father (or was it his grandfather?) was a classical composer of some sort. This is a fabulous showcase of Zevon's talents, although the skimpy notes and occasionally dubious song selection mean i can still only give it four stars- An updated re-release would be fantastic.

3.0 out of 5 stars More ham than cheese, 6 Sep 2005
By A.lan Stevens "MediaCoach" (LONDON United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Enjoy Every Sandwich: The Songs of Warren Zevon (Audio CD)
It's always tough to put together a "tribute" album. There are some old friends who want to pay their respects, some new friends who are keen to say a few words, and some hangers-on who spot a chance be part of the action. This is not a bad album, by any means, but it ain't great. Warren's mentor, Jackson Browne, and his goood friend Bonnie Raitt do the stuff on "Poor Poor Pitiful Me", and Steve Earle sounds suitably wrecked on "Reconsider Me". Dylan's take on "Muntineer" is poorly recorded, and probably a misjudged inclusion.

Overall, the album does what it says on the cover - it's "The Songs of Warren Zevon". You need to get the real thing, by the Exciteable Boy himself.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fitting Tribute to a Great Songwriter, 28 Oct 2004
By R. P. Hirst (NW UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Enjoy Every Sandwich: The Songs of Warren Zevon (Audio CD)
Ever since the werewolf walked thru soho with a chinese menu in his hand I have enjoyed warren's songs and this album is largely quality covers by a stellar lineup of warren's friends. Standouts are adam sandler (quite a surprise!!) take on "werewolves" itself, "poor poor pitiful me" by jackson b and bonnie raitt (altho bonnie is too low down in the mix) "splendid isolation" by pete yorn and "keep me in your heart" by warren's friend and supporter Jorge calderon and jennifer warnes. My favorite track from warren's last works is "my ride's here". Warren's version is an upbeat exultation of his impending exit (...I'm bound for glory - my ride's here!) and I think springsteen's cover is too reverential and fails to capture the essence of the song. Am not too sure about billy bob's "the wind" either and would have liked a cover of "dirty life and times". Those aside a very good album and a good intro for those like most of my friends who knew him only for "werewolves"
