Rhino Records re-emphasizes the importance of both keeping music history alive and maintaining tradition, with another installment of their Start Your Ear Off Right campaign which returns in 2019 with vinyl titles from some of the most celebrated acts in music including: Alice Cooper, Aretha Franklin, Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Gram Parsons, Grateful Dead, Jimmy Rogers All Stars, Joni Mitchell, Little Village, Lupe Fiasco, Ramones, The Monkees, Television, Warren Zevon, and ZZ Top.

Warren Zevon's 1976 self-titled masterpiece is a black-hearted pop delight, shrouded in humor and irony and possessing a steely intelligence, a winning wit, and an unusually sophisticated melodic sense. Sarcastic, dark, cunning, irreverent: Warren Zevon is all that and more, its literate and melodic songs an aural journey through the American underbelly that's on par with Raymond Chandler's noir novels. From the deranged romp of "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" and the tongue in cheek masochism of "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me," to the American West mythos of "Frank and Jesse James" and the starkly beautiful "Desperadoes Under the Eaves," the album rolls along with an insightful and unrestrained sense of purpose.
