For an artist who first gained success as a songwriter with superstars like The Turtles, Linda Ronstadt, and Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon's own acclaimed recordings proved to be a major force on the music scene for many decades. His music transcended all genres of rock and pop music styles, fuzing melodic landscapes with thought provoking and somewhat controversial lyrical content during his successful reign on the album and radio charts.

After reaching platinum heights in the 70s with his very popular Excitable Boy LP (FRM 9006) and continuing his amazing 1980s output with brilliant works like Bad Luck Streak In Dancing School (FRM 509), Warren Zevon returned with a vengeance in the 1990s with a series of fine albumson Giant Records. The first album on this new deal was the often cited masterwork Mr. Bad Example.

As another notch in his amazing chart album career, the fine album reunited producer and great friend Waddy Wachtel with the artist and brought back some of the familiarity of his early aforementioned classics. The ten track fan favorite is loaded with time honored Warren Zevon classics like the opening rocker Finishing Touches as well as more masterful Zevon magic with Model Citizen, the sorely missed sounds of the brilliant Angel Dressed In Black and Searching For A Heart, and the comical Things To Do In Denver When Your Dead, as well as melodic ballads like Suzie Lightning and the country flavored Heartache Spoken Here featuring his superstar friend Dwight Yoakam on vocals.

The Mr. Bad Example sessions also featured the musical talents of Warren Zevon's fellow rockers like David Lindley (Jackson Browne), Jim Keltner (Bob Dylan/Traveling Wilburys), Jeff Porcaro (Toto) and Jorge Calderon (Warren Zevon).

Released a few years later, Mutineer was another fine recording of which Warren Zevon acted as both the artist and the producer. Filled with ten more powerful songs which had all the zest and familiarity of his Elektra era recordings, Mutineer was also his last album after a long and successful tenure within the Warner Bros. family of labels around the corner.

Tracks like the rockers Seminole Bingo, Poisonous Lookalike and Rottweiler Blues furthered this legendary artist's superstar status as friends like Bruce Hornsby, Rosemary Butler and David Lindley all lended their talents to this Zevon masterwork. More introspective writings like Monkey Wash Donkey Rinse and the brilliant title track Mutineer truly show us the unique and sorely missed talents of this beloved singer/songwriter.

However, Friday Music is now very honored to announce the limited edition release of Warren Zevon's classics Mr. Bad Example and Mutineer together for the first time on one newly mastered compact disc.
