Our Take

Warren Zevon's "Preludes" is a wild ride through the twisted mind of one of music's greatest storytellers. From the opening track, "Frank and Jessie James," to the haunting closer, "How to Talk to the Dead," Zevon weaves a tapestry of dark, witty tales that will leave you both laughing and contemplating your own mortality. The production on this album is top-notch, with Zevon's voice cutting through the mix like a knife through butter. The instrumentation is eclectic, ranging from delicate pianos to crunchy guitars, creating a dynamic sonic landscape that perfectly complements Zevon's razor-sharp lyrics. Standout tracks include the rollicking "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner," which tells the tale of a ghostly soldier seeking revenge, and the soulful "Accidentally Like a Martyr," a beautiful ballad about lost love. Overall, "Preludes" is a testament to Zevon's songwriting prowess and his ability to craft unique, memorable songs that stick with you long after the album has finished. So grab a glass of whiskey, turn up the volume, and let Warren Zevon take you on a dark and twisted journey through the world of "Preludes." You won't regret it.
