Warren Zevon never met a dark joke he couldn't set to a great tune, and Mr. Bad Example, his 1991 album, is loaded with both.
Produced by longtime collaborator Waddy Wachtel, the record pairs Zevon's sardonic songwriting with a crack studio band, including Jeff Porcaro on drums for most of the tracks and David Lindley on fiddle, saz and lap steel. Dwight Yoakam even drops in on harmony vocals, a hint of the country colours that run through parts of the album.
The title track is a gleeful tour of bad behaviour narrated by a scoundrel with no intention of reforming, set to a bright, jaunty arrangement. "Quite Ugly One Morning" is pure noir mischief with Lindley's strings adding a sly twist, and "Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead" is the song that lent its title to a 1995 film.
Then Zevon turns around and closes with "Searching for a Heart", a tender, rueful ballad that shows how much feeling sat beneath the wisecracks, and how carefully he built a melody.
It makes a perfect introduction to his wit and his warmth, and a reminder that few songwriters could make you laugh and wince in the same verse quite like he could, sometimes in the same line.
