Featuring 13 Warren Zevon classics interpreted by emerging artists from the United States and England, Hurry Home Early: The Songs of Warren Zevon focuses on Zevon’s contribution to literate, modern songcraft, and tracks his 35-year journey as acerbic troubadour and cynical romantic. It traces Zevon’s career from the late 1960s until his untimely death from mesothelioma, an inoperable lung cancer, in 2003. From Phil Cody’s “Splendid Isolation” to Robb Johnson’s “Suzie Lightning,” the album tells the story of an artist torn between hopeful and dark impulses, locked in a struggle between heart and mind.
