There’s 15 Zevon songs - we’re covering a lot of stuff. I threw in three of my own songs because I know there’s going to be some confused people here who didn’t know. It’s just a one-off right now, but we’re filming with the intention of maybe bringing it to L.A. I’d been teaching myself a lot, so that’ll make this fun and exciting… So, we put together this band just for, and we’re calling it the Werewolves of Los Angeles.
And I’d really like to woodshed at the piano so much more. I’ve been touring and playing piano with Brandi Carlile for two years in her band. And when my wife, Misty, said, I was like, “You know what? That’s exactly what I’m looking to do.” I just had been playing the self-titled Zevon record, and it had become such a huge part of me over the last three or four years.
And I was going through this period of really getting into Linda Ronstadt, Peter Asher, all this L.A. But, in the last four years, I went really deep into his whole catalog. We caught up with Jennings - who recently oversaw the release of a new sneaker dedicated to his father Waylon Jennings - before he took his seat behind the keyboard to talk all things Zevon.įor a lot of folks, myself included, Zevon is a musical god. Kelsey Waldon Sings About John Prine and Getting High on New Album 'No Regular Dog' Rebels & Renegades Fest Debuts With Cody Jinks, a Warren Zevon Tribute, and No Genres Allowedīrandi Carlile Talks Bible Parables, Sings 'You and Me on the Rock' on 'Austin City Limits' Season Premiere Among the highlights: a rousing take on Zevon’s 1978 tale of desperation, “Lawyers, Guns and Money,” which premieres on Rolling Stone. During last week’s inaugural Rebels & Renegades Music Festival in Monterey, six hours north of Jennings’ home, he indulged his affinity for Zevon, putting together a band - the Werewolves of Los Angeles - to play a set devoted to the eccentric songwriter who died from cancer in 2003.
