First of all, way past time for a Warren Zevon song to show up here. Desperados Under the Eaves showcases all the talents of Warren Zevon.
I feel like we’re losing touch – maybe for good – with the great songs from the 1950s. Maybe it’s natural – the people who grew up with that music are a small minority of our living world in 2026, and just about everything from the 1950s seems more historical than living at this point.
