[Warren] Zevon was not just a man of sardonic wit. His songs could be tender and introspective. “Accidentally like a Martyr” speaks to anyone who has ever been tempted—and burned—by a misguided romance. “Hasten Down the Wind” is a piercing ballad about a once-strong relationship gone cold. And “Splendid Isolation” is as memorable a tribute to independence as John Lennon’s superb “Watching the Wheels.”
