Warren was an American rocker active from 1965 until 2003. He was sixteen when he quit school to move to LA and do music, first in a duo called Lyme and Cybelle, then as a jingle composer, and songwriter for bands on the label he was attached to. His first album was released in 1969, then he spent the next five years touring as a band member for the Everly Brothers before and after their break up. After spending a few months in Spain he released his next album in 1976 and it was heralded as a masterpiece. His next album was in 1978 which is where this song is from. The album was praised heavily, followed by more albums in 1980 an 1982. He got engaged year later, moved to the east coast, got dropped by his label, and became an alcoholic. His engagement ended and he checked into a rehab clinic the next year, then took a break from music. He came back in 1987 with an album, followed by another in 1989. That one did horribly, and he was dropped again, but was picked up immediately by another releasing an album as part of the group Hindu Love Gods. He continued making solo music throughout the 90's, and was part of the Stranger Than Fiction project, and was the band leader for awhile on the David Letterman Show. He had a phobia of doctors, but in 2002 when he started feeling dizzy he finally went to one and was diagnosed with cancer. He refused treatment, instead working on his next album which came out in 2003. He died a few months later.
It might not be the season, but this is the favorite Halloween song. So either one associated with the holiday or about something associated with it. My grandma went with a classic choosing Who You Gonna Call by Spooky. Sammy and Will picked This Is Halloween by the Moonlight Orchestra, then Anna and my mom went with Monster Mash by Bobby Boris Pickett.
Peace.
