Music And All Things BrookJersey (Moran)

Warren Zevon trivia, what R&R legend did Zevon work for and also was the driver behind Werewolves of London? Zevon wrote it with Waddy Wachtel and a third person whose name escapes me right now but the idea for the song came from?

And The Standells quirk regarding Dirty Water was that while it was a totally Boston centric song, the band actually hailed from Southern California.
I don’t know that but i do remember that Fleetwood and mcvie were the rhythm section.
 
i could Google, but more interesting hearing from you.
The musician was Phil Everly, whose TV show Zevon worked on. Phil saw the 30’s movie of the same title and jokingly suggested Zevon write a song to start a Werewolves of London dance craze. Not positive but I think T Bone Burnett may have played it on Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue before Zevon put it on Excitable Boy.

pretty interesting, would have never connect Phil with Warren musically. opposite ends of the spectrum, sweet versus sardonic. Cool

Similarly would never have connected Warren with Jackson Browne musically (or
probably more to the point lyrically) but they were good friends and wrote a few songs together.

If you look at their personnel of the time it's almost the same. Wachtel or Kortchmar on guitar, Kunkel on drums, Lindley, Sklar show up a lot. Jackson Browne produced his 2nd (Warren zevon) and 3rd (excitable boy) albums and appeared on bad luck street too as i recall. Also rondstat and souther and some eagles. Socal sound at the time was a very incestuous scene. Buckingham Nick's were on his 2nd album too.
 
Then on sentimental hygiene it was rem guys on every track. Special guests were a list all the time too. I was checking my memory on hygiene and it featured Dylan, Neil young, Henley, setzer, Mike Campbell, and flea amongst others.
 
Two musicians with multiple hits each, friends, went to HS and college together, playing together at each; one played in the others band in ‘67 and ‘68 before striking out on his own as primarily a blues player, before recording an impressive string of hits himself.
 
I researched this band as I knew nothing of them, a UK band. Jess Hayes is fantastic, reminds me of Bonnie Raitt a little.

Listen to Dark End of the Street, great rendition.

 
Interesting singer-songwriter from N. Ireland who has been around for a while. His material has been covered by many more famous musicians, Santana, Dave Edmunds, Tina Turner, Bonnie Raitt, Carole King, Art Garfunkel, Cher, Cliff Richard, Phil Collins, Joe Cocker and Eric Clapton, .

His name is Paul Brady.

Bob Dylan himself had this to say: The actual quote was "(...) people get too famous too fast these days and it destroys them. Some guys got it down-Leonard Cohen, Paul Brady, Lou Reed, secret heroes, John Prine, David Allen Coe, Tom Waits.

Paul did a song Buffett played and Brady appeared in concert with Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band.

His best songs are "Crazy Dreams", "Nothing but the Same Old Story", "The Island", "Night Hunting Time", "Steel Claw" and "Paradise Is Here".
