Covers: Linda Ronstadt covers Warren Zevon

Linda Ronstadt did a lot to bring Warren Zevon’s songs to a wider audience. Her covers are probably the best known version of some of his songs. His albums were too quirky for mainstream acceptance. I prefer his versions but I am glad she recorded his songs.

This is a list of covers of Zevon songs.

A savage critique of indulgent 70’s folk and the funniest song ever written about ending it all, Warren Zevon’s “Poor, Poor Pitiful Me” marries a killer riff to a master class in poor judgment, culminating in rock’s first effort at taking the 5th: “I don’t want to talk about it.”
