Warren Zevon is a American singer-songwriter that is probably best remembered for his lyrics and songs like "Werewolves of London" and "Lawyers, Guns and Money" that came out in the 1970s. But he put out many great albums throughout his career until dying of mesothelioma in 2003.
Just before he died, he went into the studio to record "The Wind". This may have been the first album by an artist who knew he was dying that I had ever heard of. Following this one, other artists have released "final" records as well.
There is something amazingly powerful about the lyrics in these songs with the context of someone's life being in its final chapter.
The Makin Waves Song of the Week is "New Years at the Airport" from Yawn Mower's brand new sophomore LP, "I Just Can't Wait to Die," on Mint 400 Records.
