Lately, the late Warren Zevon has been getting his flowers. The cult favorite singer songwriter received the 'Musical Influence Award' at the Rock'N'Roll Hall Of Fame induction, and a massive tribute concert in Los Angeles saw the likes of Jackson Browne, Dwight Yoakam, and Fountains Of Wayne performing his songs. Now comes news of a fresh tribute album.
The 2 disc set "Keep Me In Your Heart : The Songs Of Warren Zevon" is coming in January. It features contributions from Jimmy Webb, Willie Nile, Richard Barone, Freedy Johnston, James Maddock, Pete Mancini, Gene Casey, Andrew Fortier, Kerry Kearney, Jack Licitra, Caroline Doctorow, Mike Nugent, Tara Hack, Emily Duff, Allen Santoriello, Claudia Jacobs, Russ Seeger, Mick Hargreaves, Gerry McKeveny, Annie Mark, Revolver, The Lucky Ones, Hank Stone, the Belle Curves, Ray Lambiase, Bryan Gallo, Howard Silverman, and Phil Kennelty.
Zevon's son, Jordan Zevon, who had a hand in the 2004 tribute album, "Enjoy Every Sandwich", was once again involved here. He shared this statement, "Something I’m so proud of is that Dad’s music lives beyond his recordings. This is the perfect example. Other artist interpretations bring new life. I’ve really been enjoying listening (I got an advance copy, don’t be jealous). I think you will as well. Thank you to everyone involved. I’ve been wearing a stupid grin, now it’s your turn".
The lead single from "Keep Me In Your Heart" is Jimmy Webb's take on "Desperados Under The Eaves". Out now.
The tribute album, "Keep Me In Your Heart : The Songs Of Warren Zevon", is out January 23rd, 2026, on Paradiddle Records.
