After The Excitable Boy and its attendant, longstanding hit, "Werewolves of London," Warren Zevon could afford to beef up his sound. His live show, captured fantastically on Stand in the Fire, clearly helped shape the richer guitars on 1982's The Envoy, and the prescient title track finds Zevon describing a chaotic, war-torn Middle East (and elsewhere) that's sadly familiar. In a more poignant mood, Zevon gives us "Jesus Mentioned," with its trip-to-Graceland theme (pre-dating Paul Simon, by the way) and this classic line: "Can't you just imagine/Digging up the King/Begging him to sing/About those heavenly mansions Jesus mentioned." Sure, some of the brighter-lit guitars and keyboards sound dated, but Zevon's acerbic wit and songwriting win the day. "Charlie dealt in pharmaceuticals/Charlie used to sell me pills," Zevon dryly sings. Amid some of his biggest rock-riffing guitars, Zevon continues, "Yesterday his sister called to me he'd been killed...Some respectable doctor from Beverly Hills/Shot him through the heart/Charlie never felt a thing/Neither of them did." That's Zevon's world, sending and catching bullets in a place beyond sensation.--Andrew Bartlett
