Warren Zevon passed way from mesothelioma, a form of asbestos related lung cancer in 2003. A few months later, his son, Jordan, drove out to one of his dad's storage spaces in the San Fernando Valley to begin the sorting the process. He discovered over a 100 unreleased outtakes and demos in a piano-sized touring case.
Preludes features 16 of the best of these discovered recordings, including 6 unreleased tracks "Empty Hearted Town," "Going All The Way," "Steady Rain," "Stop Rainin Lord" "Studebaker" and "Rosarita Beach Café." All songs were recorded pre-1976. Other gems are previously unheard versions of "Werewolves of London" and "Accidentally Like A Martyr". The 2nd disc features an in-depth radio interview Warren did with Jody Denberg in 2000.
I'll be posting the interview, interspersed with the music....It's alot to take in at one sitting.... I added the track " I Was In The House When The House Burned Down" in comments.

Ah, the treacherous Studebaker! My parents owned two of those beasts when I was a pup, and I certainly was stranded by a treacherous Jaguar sedan and a '53 Dodge V-8. I really could relate to the song.
