From the Artist

'In a sense, a father is a daughter’s true love. No matter what circumstances come into our lives to cloud the purity of that love, a daughter cannot help but feel the echo of her father whenever her heart swells with love. At least this has been true for me. My father and I had a strange and sometimes estranged relationship throughout my life and until the end of his; but despite the awkwardness and the pain we sometimes shared in each other’s company, his love for me and mine for him was unwavering and unquestionable.

Lucky (or unlucky at times) for me, his love songs were the tangible echoes of his capacity to love even when I could not be near him. I can recall as a young girl of 6 or 7 sitting in my mother’s rocking chair hugging the vinyl album cover to Excitable Boy as "Accidentally, Like a Martyr" and "Tenderness on the Block" brought streams of tears to my eyes. Though life’s hard knocks might have made it impossible for my father to always be present and by my side, the sweet melancholy of his lyrics and his voice consoled me and reassured me that wherever he was and whatever he was doing, his love could travel through space and time.'

-Ariel Zevon

Product Description

RECONSIDER ME is a collection of the best love songs written and performed by the musical legend Warren Zevon. These are the songs that celebrate life and love in all its unsentimental, broken-hearted, obsessive and insanely happy moments. While Warren Zevon is not known as a writer of traditional love songs and ballads, this anthology of overlooked love songs mixes a world weary, ironic and sardonic view of life with the possibility of magic and optimism because of the existence of love. RECONSIDER ME is a terrific introduction to the world of Warren Zevon.

RECONSIDER ME includes as a Bonus Track the previously unreleased live, solo acoustic version of ‘Don’t Let Us Get Sick’ recorded at KGSR Studios in Austin, TX in 2000.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yes, great songs but not his best love songs, November 17, 2009

Zevon wrote one of the best love songs in the english language but you won't find it here "Hasten down the wind", and then no "Carmelita" either. No "Poor poor pitifull me" either! Besides that this is a nice collection, but it should be titled "13 love songs" and not "THE love songs". Pitty they did not add some more songs with 30 more minutes of time, but maybe this could be fixed in a new remastered edition. That would be a nice idea.

I heard this album while visiting a friend, and decided I needed a copy for myself. It hasn't disappointed. There are several noteworthy songs to enjoy and get lost in.

I did not appreciate the fact that this was just advertisement for the Dirty life and Times book that I just plain hate!! Give us the music of Warren Zevon and keep your propaganda to yourselves please!! The selection of love songs was poor. Warren deserves better than this !!
