Warren Zevon - Genius: The Best of Warren Zevon (2002)
Unlike most of you, I knew Zevon had a reputation as a great singer/songwriter but prior to hearing this CD, I wasn't familiar with most of his work. I can't say how close this comes to capturing his finest work in a single volume, but it's very good and I can't imagine there could be much fine-tuning that would make for a better single CD compilation. Granted, for a guy who's best known as a writer I'd probably axe "A Certain Girl" and Prince cover "Raspberry Beret", but many artists go entire careers without writing a song as witty as "Werewolves" let alone the other gems to be found here likemore… "Carmelita","Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner","Looking for the Next Best Thing", "Reconsider Me", and "Mr. Bad Example".
BOTTOM LINE:
This convinced me I need to hear full albums by Zevon. Since "greatest hits" collections aren't usually compiled for die-hard fans, I'd say that means the CD does its job...Rudy Rathlos
