Warren Zevon – Stand in the Fire

Warren Zevon had toured for quite some time as a songwriter in the rock scene, released a few singles and landed a flop with his debut LP in 1969 before the tide finally turned. Roughly ten years later, his live album - put together from a five-day residency at the Roxy Theater in West Hollywood - entered the annals of vinyl history as one of the best live albums of all time and was awarded four stars by the magazine Rolling Stone. Ambiguously entitled by the comprehensively educated Zevon, who had been confronted with the tough side of show business, Stand In The Fire delivers genial simple pure and straightforward rock right from the start, which hit the public with a vengeance.
