When something hits you, really digs a hole in your mortal soul, especially when its good music, you feel it in ways that you have trouble expressing. I’ve been known to tear up in the midst of a good song, get a good case of goosebumps or get lost in the sound like I’m drowning and I don’t care. With Warren Zevon, I’ve had all three occur. It’s music that rips the foundations out from under your feet, laughs at you and kick starts your life. That’s what good music is. That’s what Warrens music is. This set, Preludes, is all demos that his son found after his death in some Hollywood Hills storage space. In these recordings, you can hear a man at war with his own sense of mortality, a man who’s humor is existent even in the harshest of moments. This is real music. If you don’t agree……..you’re wrong.
