2.4.2007 | Warren Zevon, Under the Covers
From Berkeley Place, an A to Z of Zevon covering songs, from Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower” to “What’s New, Pussycat?” My own recollections of Zevon covers include an ill-received version of Julie Gold’s “From a Distance” and, of course, “Winter Wonderland,” his Christmas evergreen, which often had the great lyric “In the meadow we will build a snowman / Then pretend that he is Jackson Browne.”
OK, top 5 songs covered by Warren Zevon and released on his studio albums:
- Back in the High Life Again (Steve Winwood)
- Certain Girl (Ernie K-Doe)
- Raspberry Beret (Prince)
- Jesus Was a Cross Maker (Judee Sill)
- Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door (Bob Dylan)
