If it weren't for the amazing collection of rare Zevon recordings (Preludes) posted above, This self titled cd may take the cake as my favorite record of his. But, since we simply cannot deny the existence of that wonderfully crafted compilation, this record goes 2nd (out of 22). Recorded in '75, released in '76, this is classic Zevon, unmarred by the 80's sound he embraced (all too well in my opinion) on records like The Envoy and Transverse City. If you are just learning about Mr. Zevon now, which is definitely something to be ashamed of, you really can't go wrong with this album. Every song is beautifully composed, often with string sections written by The Man himself. One of my all time favorites, get this record.
