Warren Zevon – Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School (Mobile Fidelity LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Produced by Greg Ladanyi and Zevon himself, "Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School" arrived in 1980 as Zevon was deepening his reputation as one of rock's sharpest literary voices, a songwriter whose dark humor and classical training set him apart from nearly everyone on the radio. The album's range, from the vaudeville swing of "Play It All Night Long" to the string-laden chamber pop of "Empty-Handed Heart," reflects a restless ambition that his devoted cult following recognized immediately, even if mainstream success remained elusive.
