But he does not spare the reader from the unpleasant aspects of Zevon’s alcohol- and drug-fueled behavior that placed tremendous strains on his relationships, many of which did not survive the assault. His musical background enables him to write about Zevon’s art with authority and insight. Nothing’s Bad Luck is his first book, and he has written a sympathetic but unflinching portrait of Zevon. Kushins is a journalist and musician performing under the name Muckiness Child. Kushins’ new volume is the first traditional biography of one of rock ‘n’ roll’s finest songwriters. Not to mention Crystal Zevon’s I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead: The Dirty Life and Times of Warren Zevon, part memoir from his ex-wife, part reminiscences from family and friends. George Plasketes’ Warren Zevon: Desperado of Los Angeles tries too hard to match Zevon’s gonzo attitude, while James Campion’s Accidentally Like a Martyr: The Tortured Art of Warren Zevon is a scholarly examination of Zevon’s songwriting. Nothing’s Bad Luck: The Lives of Warren Zevon is the third full-length book about Zevon to appear in the past four years. The time may now be right for renewed appreciation of the work of this troubled and undeservedly overlooked songwriter and musician.

His self-titled 'second debut' album was released in 1976, and along with 1978's Excitable Boy, brought critical and popular success for his often dark, sometimes eccentric, brand of songwriting. After spending several years as a backup player for the Everly Brothers, Zevon finally established himself in the LA music scene and attracted the attention of contemperaries such as Jackson Browne and The Eagles, who were instrumental in helping to re-launch his solo career. Perhaps best known for his late 1970s hit 'Werewolves Of London,' Warren Zevon started his musical career about a decade earlier with a stint in the duo lyme and cybelle in the mid 60s, and an unsuccessful debut album in 1969. Zevon also did collaborations with many other musical artists of note, including Bob Dylan, The Eagles, Jackson Browne, Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Springsteen, Jerry Garcia, and George Clinton, among others. In addition to his own success as a musician, Zevon has written songs that have become hits for other artists as well, most notably Linda Ronstadt. Warren William Zevon was an American musician, singer-songwriter, and record producer best known for the hit songs ' Werewolves of London', ' Lawyers, Guns and Money', ' Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner' and ' Johnny Strikes Up the Band', all of which are from his critically acclaimed 1978 album Excitable Boy.
