About this audiobook
“One of the most casually insightful rock bios ever.”—Entertainment Weekly
Told in the words of his musical accomplices, fellow-travelers, friends, and lovers, I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead is an intimate and unusual biography of fabled singer–songwriter Warren Zevon, the musical force behind such dark, witty rock and roll classics as Werewolves of London and Roland, the Headless Thompson Gunner.
Compiled by Crystal Zevon, the artist’s former (and only) wife, this oral biography draws on interviews with Jackson Browne, Tom Petty, Emmylou Harris, Linda Rondstadt, Stevie Nicks, Lindsay Buckingham, the Everly Brothers, and a host of other denizens of Southern California’s influential rock scene to tell the story of the original “Excitable Boy”: literary hoodlum, OCD sufferer, brilliant songwriter, and rock–and–roll icon.
