“ Don’t the sun look angry through the trees/Don’t the trees look like crucified thieves/Don’t you feel like Desperados under the eaves/Heaven help the one who leaves,” sang Jennings, who’s called L.A. In a one-off showcase appearance, at least for the time being, Jennings and his backing band, dubbed the Werewolves of Los Angeles for this occasion, galloped through a set of classics from the late Zevon: “Lawyers, Guns and Money,” “Excitable Boy,” and, naturally, “Werewolves of London.” Jennings, who prefers to play keyboards these days (often as a touring member of Carlile’s band), moved to guitar for Zevon’s heartrending sign-off, “Keep Me in Your Heart,” before returning to keys for the tribute’s poignant ending, “Desperados Under the Eaves,” an ode to Zevon’s beloved Los Angeles. Then my wife said, ‘Hey, why don’t you sing a bunch of that Warren Zevon stuff you’ve been listening to?’”
“So I was trying to think of something to do, to make something really special. I don’t have a record,” Jennings tells Rolling Stone backstage at the inaugural Rebels & Renegades festival, held this weekend in Monterey, California. “I got offered this festival, and I just didn’t want to have it be me coming in to play a regular set.
