Producers: Warren Zevon, Jorge Calderon, Noah Scot Snyder. THE WIND won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. "Keep Me in Your Heart" was nominated for Song Of The Year and for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. "Disorder in the House" won for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal and was also nominated for Best Rock Song. With the specter of a terminal lung cancer diagnosis hanging over his head, Warren Zevon responded by rallying to make THE WIND, an album that found him working with longtime collaborator and friend Jorge Calderon, shortly after getting the news. The result is a tight group of 11 songs wrapped up in a year, despite a diagnosis that only gave Zevon three months to live. Along the way, plenty of famous names--both friends and fans--pitched in, including Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Emmylou Harris, Jackson Browne, Dwight Yoakam and Don Henley. Allusions to his situation are naturally sprinkled throughout, whether it's partying in the face of doom ("The Rest of the Night"), using a self-penned blues song to look back with no regrets ("Rub Me Raw"), or pledging his eternal love ("El Amor De Mi Vida"). Even Zevon's cover of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," avoids the pitfall of sentimentality as he can be heard bellowing "open up, open up" in the background of the song's chorus sung by Tommy Shaw, John Waite, and Billy Bob Thornton. "Keep Me in Your Heart" finds Zevon subtly asking just that, in a dignified manner guaranteed to mist up the eyes of even the most jaded person.

Reviews  Warren Zevon....The Wind I bought it for one song "Keep me in your heart". That song reminded me of Bob Dylan and the 1960's. Review ID: 10000000007344678 Was this review helpful? Report this review The Wind - Zevon, WarrenReview created: 12/11/07 by: I just recently became a Warren Zevon fan, only to find out that he had passed away in 2003 with cancer. When I found out that this was his final effort, I had to have it. I love the song "Keep me in your heart", makes me cry every time I listen to it. Wonderful music, the world is a lesser place without him! Review ID: 10000000004849169 Was this review helpful? Report this review Wind Warren ZavonReview created: 07/04/07 by: I bought ths CD because I like this man's music. I especially bought it for the song KEEP ME IN YOUR HEART FOR A WHILE. Warren wrote this song for his wife just three months before he died from Cancer. I lost my husband from Cancer and the song reminds me of him. There is nothing I dislike about it. Review ID: 10000000003895644 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Warren Zevon rocked!Review created: 04/22/07 by: This CD was made right before Warren Zevon passed away with cancer. It is the best Zevon CD I have listened to. His voice is scratchy, and he seems out of breath at times, but the heart he puts into every song on the CD is quite moving. Jackson Browne and Tom Petty provide added vocals. The final song, Keep me in your Heart is a classic. RIP Warren. Review ID: 10000000003431587 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
