Warren Zevon's songs are like chapters in a great American novel, with a story that lies in the heart of his psyche and ours. The lines between reality and illusion are blurred, and we never know if we are looking in a mirror or peering through a window. When we listen, we see something.

The music sets the scene, with his striking baritone voice as the narrator, guiding us through a labyrinth of harrowing narratives. The plot unfolds without subtlety, each musical and lyrical arc awakening our imagination.

In Accidentally Like a Martyr: The Tortured Art of Warren Zevon, music journalist James Campion presents 13 essays on seminal Zevon songs and albums that provide context to the themes, inspirations, and influence of one of America's most literate songwriters. In-depth interviews with Zevon's friends and colleagues provide first-person accounts of how the music was lived, composed, recorded, and performed.

Longtime fans of this most uniquely tortured artist, as well as those who want to discover his work for the first time, will get inside the mind, talent, and legacy of the wildly passionate Excitable Boy.
