iTunes Review
Recorded in 1969, Wanted Dead or Alive is a very different Warren Zevon than the one who emerged in the late ‘70s as one of Los Angeles’ premier singer-songwriters. The voice is still deep and foreboding, but the arrangements are all over the place. “She Quit Me” is an acoustic demo that’s part blues, part harmonica-folksinger. “Hitchhikin’ Woman” is tough hard rock. “Calcutta” is tougher barroom rock ‘n’ roll. The title track and the country-tinged “A Bullet for Ramona” come closest to the film-noir horrors of Zevon’s most notable works. The electric guitars are supersized in comparison with Zevon’s later work. “Tule’s Blues” is excellent and would be reworked at a later date but not officially released until the expanded and deluxe editions of his catalog began appearing. Zevon himself expressed little interest in this set, but it has its fans.
Customer Reviews
Only For The Hard Core Zevon Fan
"Zevon himself expressed little interest in the set" And for good reason. Uneven, unoriginal, scattershot, the album is a shambolic mess. The arraignments just do not work, and most of the album feels phoned in. Zevon did not hit his stride until Excitable Boy. This is a young and uncertain Zevon finding his voice. Buy the album if you insist on having the complete Zevon discography, otherwise avoid this effort.
