Page "Warren Zevon" Paragraph 10

Critic Dave Marsh, in The Rolling Stone Record Guide ( 1979 ), called Zevon " one of the toughest rockers ever to come out of Southern California ".

Rolling Stone called the album one of the most significant releases of the 1970s and placed him alongside Neil Young, Jackson Browne, and Bruce Springsteen as one of the four most important new artists to emerge in the decade.
