Excitable Boy established Warren Zevon as rockās gonzo figurehead ā or, as Jackson Browne aptly called him, āthe first and foremost proponent of song noir.ā A supreme collision of over-caffeinated energy, acerbic wit, dark humor, irreverent reporting, bittersweet romance, swept-under-the-rug truth, and illicit desire sent up with booze, pills, and therapist confessions, the breakthrough album zeroes in on frightening aspects of American culture with an incisiveness thatās even sharper today than upon the effortās release in 1978. And the music has never sounded so excitable.
