Accidentally Like a Martyr: The Tortured Art of Warren Zevon Campion James Paperback
Warren Zevon songs are like chapters in a great American novel. The lines are blurred. Its story lies in the heart of his - and our - psyche.
The music sets the scene - his voice a striking baritone, its narrator our guide through a labyrinth of harrowing narratives. We never seem to know if we are looking in a mirror or peering through a window; we only know that when we listen we see something. The plot unfolds without subtlety; each musical and lyrical arc awakens imagination.
In Accidentally Like a Martyr: The Tortured Art of Warren Zevon, music journalist James Campion presents 13 essays on seminal Zevon songs and albums that provide context to the themes, inspirations, and influence of one of America's most literate songwriters. In-depth interviews with Zevon's friends and colleagues provide first-person accounts of how the music was lived, composed, recorded, and performed.
