Have never found a better way of putting my appreciation and love for the late great Warren Zevon.....

"I use to sing this song to my daughter every night when she was a baby/toddler. She's 9 now, and still requests it sometimes. I can't even begin to express how much that means to me... Thank you Warren!

I don't believe in God, but I do believe in Warren Zevon!!"

"Don't Let Us Get Sick"...from his Preludes box, compiled by Warren's son, Jordan. With a very nice intro added that is not on the 2 CD set. Pure Zevon...

Life'll Kill Ya is an album by American singer/songwriter Warren Zevon, released in 2000. (see 2000 in music). The album was recorded in 1999.

Several of the album's songs deal with the topic of death; for instance, "My ****'s ****ed Up" is a mournful lament to the aging process and the inevitable decay that accompanies it. "Life'll Kill Ya" and "Don't Let Us Get Sick" also have prominent death themes, while the cover of Steve Winwood's "Back in the High Life" is presented in an ironically subdued manner. In 2002, just two years after the album's release, Zevon was diagnosed with mesothelioma, which killed him a year later. -WIKI
