Following Warren's death in 2003, his son, Jordan Zevon, discovered 126 unreleased outtakes and demos in a piano-sized touring case. This 2-CD set collects the best of those recordings. Preludes is the first posthumous Zevon release. Includes a 44-page booklet featuring excerpts from Zevon's memoir, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead: The Dirty Life And Times of Warren Zevon, as well as never before seen personal photos from the family archive.
