If the mention of Warren Zevon makes you howl in homage to his mainstream hit, but not much else comes to mind, you may have missed his genius until now. It's not to late to discover (or re-discover) Warren's music. In fact, you may have heard his farewell tune, "Keep Me in Your Heart for a While," on Boston Legal.
He recorded it as part of a collaborative album featuring a who's who of rock that would be his last. Working right until the end, Warren rocked and wrote and recorded a VH1 documentary. It includes footage from Warren's final appearance on The Late Show. When asked by David Letterman, Warren advised fans to, "Enjoy every sandwich."
Warren's untimely death has left fans saddened. His music lives on, a legacy of wickedly clever lyrics and catchy tunes that chronicle and comment on the realities of human behavior.

Way too many to call just one a favorite. "Life'll Kill Ya" and "Carmalitta" are two of my favorites.
