skankdelvar Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) Also spotted on Amazon: Multipack of Warren Zevon's first five albums on CD for £12.62 Edited June 28, 2021 by skankdelvar Quote
FinnDave Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 I know the song because the Grateful Dead did it a few times, but have never heard the original. Played it once at a Dead Head halloween gig, not an especially memorable song, especially as it kept trying to turn itself into Sweet Home Alabama! 1 Quote

Although his hair may be perfect, I doubt I’d care to meet Mr Rock’s tailor 1 Quote
FinnDave Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 I have not heard of Mr Rock jnr before, and think I shall not indulge myself by listening to his ditty now, either. 1 1 Quote
skankdelvar Posted June 28, 2021 Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) At one time it was my cherished ambition to construct a medley comprised of Sweet Home Alabama, Werewolves Of London, All Summer Long and Mr Steve Miller's Take The Money And Run. Not that it would necessarily be any good but it would be the ideal riposte on those occasions when someone in the audience calls out for Sweet Home Alabama. 'Yeah, no problem, hope you like it'.

Cliff Edge Posted June 29, 2021 Posted June 29, 2021 The Excitable Boy album is an absolute gem full of great songs. I was given a copy shortly after release and could not believe I had never heard of this guy before. His songs have been covered dozens of times . 1 Quote
