Excitable Boy is the third
album by
Warren Zevon, released in
1978. It includes the top 40 success "
Werewolves of London." The album brought Warren to commercial attention and remains the best-selling album of his career. A
remastered and expanded edition was released during 2007.
The album includes several songs that use macabre humor ("Excitable Boy," "Werewolves of London"), as well as some songs that take place in locales outside the United States, ("Veracruz"), and two songs that both use macabre humor and take place in countries other than the U.S.A. ("Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner," "Lawyers, Guns and Money"). In addition, there are two straightforward ballads about life and relationships ("Accidentally Like a Martyr" and "Tenderness on the Block").
All songs written by Warren Zevon except as noted.
