And in the spare, heartbreaking ” El Amor de mi Vida,” Zevon leaves the listener with an unforgettable image: a man looking out at a world that, somewhere, holds the woman who used to love him: “I look outside, I know you’re there/ And you’ve found a brand new life somewhere/ I only wish it had been us/ But I’m happy for your happiness.” It’s a lovely sending-off, with forgiveness and an open heart-the way we’d all want to be sent off, to a new lover, a new place, or whatever fresh mysteries lie beyond the life we know.

In two ballads co-written with Jorge Calderón, though, he found the voice for a songwriter’s farewell. Unfortunately, his prognosis is the same.” It doesn’t seem likely that Zevon will be appearing in public again. Ann Powers is critic and correspondent for NPR Music and the author of several books, including Good Booty: Love and Sex, Black and White, Body and Soul in American Music, forthcoming from Dey Street Books in 2017. A PR person for Artemis says, “Some days are better than others for him. A natural gift beautifully cultivated, Linda Ronstadt’s legacy still challenges us to be more free, even as it hastens down the wind. He lived to finish the record and to see his grandchildren born. “July 2003: Warren is still alive,” the official bio says, and that’s that. It’d feel like a gimmick if the guest stars weren’t so well-used-Cooder’s plangent guitar on “Dirty Life & Times,” Henley and Schmit’s sympathetic vocal backing on “She’s Too Good for Me,” Walsh reprising the gutbucket pleasures of “Rocky Mountain Way” in “Rub Me Raw.”Įven Zevon’s record label seems to grasp that this is a moment to keep it simple. Schmit, Jackson Browne, T-Bone Burnett, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Emmylou Harris-a Murderer’s Row of singer-songwriter talent.

Other old friends and co-conspirators are in the mix: longtime collaborator Jorge Calderón, plus Ry Cooder, Don Henley, Timothy B. Even funny and very Zevonesque tropes like “I’m sprawled across the davenport of despair” are mounted in a setting of creeping decay (” Disorder in the House,” with a raging guitar lead by Bruce Springsteen). It’s a mantle the record wears gracefully, though, in ways both small (the keening crunch of David Lindley’s lap steel guitar, a sound so recognizable to anyone who was there in the ‘70s that it’s sure to induce a small shock of sense memory) and big: The familiar outlaw-on-the-run motif of ” Dirty Life & Times“ holds an unmistakable sense of the clock running down. Zevon's version of the song features Phil Everly singing harmony vocals, and also David Lindley playing slide guitar.It’s not surprising that this part of Zevon’s sensibility is front and center on The Wind (Artemis Records), or that the project carries with it a valedictory air. It was with Browne's assistance that Zevon got a major record contract. Their relationship played a significant role in his career thereafter. The track was produced by Jackson Browne, who met Zevon in the mid-seventies. The lyrics of the song describe the latter days of a relationship between a man and a woman, with the woman accepting that 'nothing's working out the way they planned' before the man accepts that 'she needs to be free'. The song was later covered by Linda Ronstadt, who would use the song as the title track for her seventh solo LP.

'Hasten Down the Wind' is a song written and recorded by Warren Zevon and featured on his eponymous major-label debut album.
