5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Debut, May 13, 2008

I am a long time fan of Warren Zevon. I worried that his son may end up sounding like his father (a fate he would have shared with Julian Lennon, who is a fine singer/songwriter, but gets no credit for it because he sounds so eerily like his father). However, JZ's album is full of great pop songs, more Beatleseque than anything. Vocally he sounds very little like Warren. He does share his father's way with a snappy lyric. One reviewer said he sounded old fashioned. Old fashioned quality is more like it. I really can't get this album out of my CD player. It is fantastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars BRILLANT DEBUT, July 30, 2008

I picked this CD up while in NYC when it debuted and didnt have a CD player with, I couldnt wait to get back home to listen to it and was not dissappointed. What can I say Warren Zevon has left a wonderful legacy behind. Jordan Zevon follows in the talents of his father. This album is unlike anything you have ever heard, much like his father's album. It is unfortunate that the record company does not promote this album more as it outdoes any music I have currently heard. But then again that is the same fate as his father suffered. That never stopped him coming back with more and I hope the same with Jordan Zevon. When is his tour?!?!?!?!

As a huge fan of the late, great Warren Zevon, the last thing I wanted was for his son to be a clone. Thankfully Jordan's his own man and his first full-length CD is proof of that. Inspired more by English bands of the 80's than anything else, Zevon's songwriting is tight and his songs are melodic pop romps. He does, however, display a bit of the dark humor his dad was famous for...Jordan's just not as sardonic.

Suffice to say, if you like the music of XTC, Squeeze, the Beatles...maybe Electric Light Orchestra, you'll like Jordan Zevon.
