Zevon tribute

The late Warren Zevon's "Don't Let Us Get Sick" is included on both this acoustic album and on a posthumous Zevon tribute record.[2] Sobule toured twice with Zevon, with whom she shares a penchant for sardonic storytelling. The two artists frequently accompanied one another during each other's sets, and Zevon was known on multiple occasions to take the lead vocal on Sobule's "I Kissed a Girl". Sobule has said that part of their bond came from the fact that she, like Zevon, was best known for a single fluke hit (Zevon's being "Werewolves of London").[3]
