Free Music Notes for Learning to Flinch
Free Music Review: The versatility of Warren Zevon
Hit: 5 Stars
The thing that strikes me when I listen to this CD is Warren's incredible versatility. He's a great pianist of course, but he can really play a pretty good acoustic guitar as well and his song writing is credibly strong. The simple piano accompanied "Play It All Night Long" is mesmerizing. The same goes for the acoustic "A Splendid Isolation". He wrote some great songs and the lyrics really stand out. The only problem with this CD is the sound quality is pretty poor overall, but it still is enjoyable to listen to if you're a Zevon fan.Free Music Review: ZEVON AT HIS PRIME

A KILLER SHOW CASE FROM THE EARLY 90'S INCLUDING RARE SONGS. A MUST HAVE Free Music Review: Fantastic Live Performance
Hit: 5 Stars
Learning to Flinch is a fantastic performance by Warren Zevon back in 1992. I especially love that the liner notes give you not only the words, but where each song was recorded. From Berlin to Auckland New Zealand, every performance is an amazing display of Warren Zevon's ability to make individual performances different from what the listener is expecting.
My personal favorite is the slide guitar he plays on Worrier King.
Free Music Review: great emotional work
Hit: 5 Stars
I like the fine musical talent of Warren Zevon, but mostly I admire unusual expressions which would be extremely honest coming from me. On this CD, that makes me admire "The Indifference of Heaven," "Worrier King" and "Piano Fighter." These inner experiences go well with the more popular songs in this selection, which sounds like it was put together to drive sdome important points home. "Learning To Flinch" is for people who don't always expect life to turn out right. We need to figure out what we are doing when it does not.Free Music Review: Some Gems, Some Throw Aways
Hit: 3 Stars
This live album contains a beautiful versions of "French Inhaler" and "Hasten Down the Wind" back to back, two of Zevon's best ballads. It also has and interesting, if drawn out, version of "Rolland the Headless Thompson Gunner" merged with "Boom Boom Mancini."
The main problem with this album is Zevon's blaise renditions of his biggest radio hits, "Lawyers, Guns and Money," and, of course, "Werewolves of London." He zips through both numbers without any emotion as if he is only playing them because he has to.
