Two years after the album's release, Zevon was diagnosed with inoperable mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer, from which he died in September 2003. Instead of receiving debilitating and ultimately pointless treatment, Zevon chose to spend what time he had left in the studio, a period documented in the excellent film 'Keep Me In Your Heart', named after the final song he ever recorded.
Warren Zevon would have been 66 today.

Great version. I'm no Zevon expert but he wrote some classics himself. Whenever I hear 'Accidently Like A Martyr' I want to weep.
You have to admire him for doing what he did. I have always followed him, but not closely enough, since the Werewolf days. Great track
