With “Keep Me in Your Heart”, Zevon offers solace to loved ones– including his admirers, I think– while retaining hope for himself. It’s the wry acceptance of a prophecy he himself declared in 1976 with “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead”.
The Wind is Zevon’s final, indelible stamp on the planet Earth.
For those who might say that was only lip service to a dying man, I encourage you to consider the ultimate track. Critics called it one of Zevon’s best if not the best album of his career. Exceeding doctors’ expectations, he actually lived to see The Wind released that summer. Warren Zevon was 56 when he passed away on September 7, 2003. But I’m gonna sit up straight, I’m gonna take it with class!” It’s the raging at the dying of the light, the shaking fist, and it’s the way you feel when you know you can’t win, but you throw your best punch anyway. Shine on All these broken lives Shine on Shine the light on me. Iron will hard as rock Hold my up for the fateful knock When they walk me down in a mortal lock Out on Prison Grove. Joe Walsh slips in with a razor-sharp slide guitar– it’s an angry track and the album’s most defiant when Zevon says, “Now I’m shaking all over, I’m a shattering mess. Dug in, hunkered down Hours race without a sound Gon' carry me to where I'm bound Looking down on Prison Grove. “Rub Me Raw” would’ve fit in fine among the Hindu Love Gods but on The Wind, it’s a battle cry.
WARREN ZEVON PRISON GROVE TORRENT
There’s a dissonant pain to “Please Stay” that goes from a trickle to a torrent when Emmylou Harris joins the chorus of, “Will you stay with me to the end? When there’s nothing left but you and me and the wind?”
WARREN ZEVON PRISON GROVE SERIES
Zevon’s trademark humor is never more apparent than when he shouts, “Why leave now?”, and the songs’ chiming guitar hook is as simple and good as anything he’s ever recorded. Original Album Series (5-CD) Released in 2012 22.98 Super Savings List Price: 32.99 Add to Cart Tracks of Disc 1 1. With the help of Calderon’s vocals, Zevon embraces regret like an old friend in “El Amor de Mi Vida”– and then things pick up when Tom Petty and Mike Campbell show up to keep the party going for “The Rest of the Night”. Ry Cooder’s slide guitar shines in the darkness of “Prison Grove” as Jackson Browne joins Billy Bob, The Boss, T Bone Burnett, and Warren’s son Jordan in a chorus of moaning and mourning that still manages to groove. He rares back for a haymaker with “another bad one” in “Numb as a Statue” before landing a solid shot to the gut with “She’s Too Good For Me” featuring Eagles Don Henley and Timothy B. But Zevon’s not pulling any punches in his final fight– plus, he’s saved the best for last. Thornton and John Waite repeat the title over and over again as Zevon chants, “Open up, open up, open up…” As powerful as the performance is, you might wonder why this cut sits so far from the… Um, end. Tommy Shaw’s solemn 12-string introduces “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”. The album kicks off with “Dirty Life and Times”, and you can damn near hear Dwight Yoakam and Billy Bob Thornton chokin’ back the tears as they join in the last line, “Who’ll lay me out and ease my worried mind, while I’m winding down my dirty life and times?” The Boss joins Warren on the rockin’ “Disorder in the House”, and Springsteen rips through some of the meanest, most angst-ridden solos of his career while drummer Jim Keltner and long-time Zevon collaborator Jorge Calderon (who co-wrote the majority of The Wind) hold down the backbeat.

WARREN ZEVON PRISON GROVE CRACK
An icy wind burns and scars Rushes in like a fallen star Through the narrow space between these bars Looking down on Prison Grove Dug in, hunkered down Hours race without a sound Gonna carry me to where I'm bound Looking down on Prison Grove Iron will hard as rock Hold me up for the fateful knock When they walk me down in a mortal lock Out on Prison Grove Shine on All these broken lives Shine on Shine the light on me Knick Knack Paddy Whack They say you'll hear your own bones crack When they bend you back to bible black Then you'll find your love Some folks have to die too hard Some folks have to cry too hard Take one last look at the prison yard Goodbye Prison Grove Shine on All these broken lives Shine on Shine the light on me Repeat verse chords until the end.He was dying… Hell, he was already dead. Original lyrics of Prison Grove song by Warren Zevon.
