(Inside)
Out Warren Zevon: Keep
Me In Your Heart |
This moving, absorbing documentary is about the making
of singer-songwriter Warren Zevon's final CD, the much-admired, star-studded
The Wind. But more than that, it's about the final year of Zevon's life,
and the way he approached what he called his "imminent demise" (which came
in September '03). Zevon surely didn't plan on dying of lung cancer (although
given his wry, sly, subversive sense of humor, he probably saw it as a
good career move). But when doctors gave him the word, he became driven
by an intense desire, and then urgency, to finish the music and leave a
lasting farewell before his final good-bye; and he did, with the help of
Bruce Springsteen, members of the Eagles, Ry Cooder, and others. Zevon
is without self-pity; he knows what's coming, he's dealing with it, and
in the process, an artist who'd always been preoccupied with death in his
songs wrote some of his best when faced with his own mortality. Add to
that a generous helping of bonus material (videos of two songs from The
Wind, with Springsteen on "Disorder in the House"; interviews, home movies,
excerpts from the sessions), and you've gotta figure Zevon himself would
be pleased. -- Sam Graham | Amazon.com
For those who were unable to see VH1's documentary of
Zevon's work on his final album, "The Wind," will find themselves fortunate
that this DVD is being released. While not a concert or a collection of
videos, this is a big good-bye for Zevon, his family, friends, and fans.
The DVD follows Zevon's friend and well-known columnist Dave Barry as he spends a few weeks with the ailing rocker. The heart of the "tour" lies in the recording studio, where we see Zevon jamming with Bruce Springsteen and Dwight Yoakam, discussing songs with Ry Cooder and Billy Bob Thornton, chatting with Hunter S. Thompson. Inbetween the various clips are updates on Warren's condition; these are bittersweet reminders that a legend is slowly fading.
The focus here is entirely on "The Wind" -- we hear raw clips of "Disorder in the House" (Zevon backed by The Boss" and a closing montage over which "Keep Me in Your Heart" plays, the closing track on Zevon's final album -- and his life. It is a musical epitaph which even the most hardened individual will find themselves moved by. Indeed, it is difficult to keep from feeling a twinge of guilt and sadness when watching this; it is a deeply personal insight into the twilight of a musical genius. Yet it does end on a somewhat high note; Zevon's daughter gives birth to twins, naming one of them after her father.
The DVD will feature the entire VH1 special as well
as 65 minutes of "bonus footage," which will undoubtedly be footage left
on the cutting-room floor and possibly the two videos for "Disorder in
the House" and "Keep Me in Your Heart." Any fan of Zevon will find this
an essential part of their library. -- Jason
