I've always thought that Tex Perkins looks like Chewbacca if he was shaved ... It's not so evident here but if you look up The Cruel Sea live you'll see it! The Cruel Sea are a great band anyway

Warren Zevon's Werewolves of London is a great song, and Warren does a great performance. However, it's not often that a cover version of a song is as good as or better than the original, but this really is! Great execution and amazing sound quality! Turn it up!!🙂👍

The irony is Warren Zevon thought this song was awful mostly because of the lyrics. The problem - the music was too good and now we have a song we all love and this version does it much credit in the vocal area.
