Most of this record is pretty bad, but some of it sounds like Magic Band outtakes – so much so that I think that if ol’ Warren were around to ask he would admit being influenced by the Captain.
As mainstream wacky as he was when he had his hits, this is even stranger. A product of an amateurish inability to self-edit, or the first flight of a certain kind of genius that got sanded down before anything else saw the light of day? I’d love to hear recordings done between this and Zevon’s other “debut” if any exist.
