2000’s “Life’ll Kill Ya” was Warren Zevon’s first album for Artemis Records. Recorded in New York, Boston and in Warren’s studio in Los Angeles, the twelve song classic included some of his most profound work for the new decade with tracks like “I Was In The House When The House Burned Down ” “Don’t Let Us Get Sick.” Plus more great fare like Stevie Winwood’s classic “Back In The High Life Again” and the title track “Life’ll Kill Ya.”
The Top 10 Independent Rock charting album included more interesting tunes like his work with his long time friend and musician Jorge Calderon on “Porcelain Monkey” and “Fistful Of Rain”
As always, Warren Zevon would pick some really great musicians and for “Life’ll Kill Ya” you will hear the stellar drum work of Winston Watson (Bob Dylan) plus the fine guitar work of Chuck Prophet on “For My Next Trick I’ll Need A Volunteer.”
Friday Music is very pleased to announce the return of this classic 2000 masterwork on first time stunning Clear Vinyl.
Produced by Paul Q. Kolderie (Radiohead) and Sean Slade (The Specials) and Mastered impeccably by Joe Reagoso (Warren Zevon/Linda Ronstadt) from the Melody Catalog LP tapes at Friday Music Studios, “Life’ll Kill Ya” is further enhanced with a stunning gatefold cover featuring all the lyrics as well as a nice photo of the late great artist.
