Retreating from the music business for several years and entering rehab to overcome his addictions, the remainder of the decade would find Zevon first collaborating with members of R.E.M. This, combined with the failure of his marriage, resulted in Zevon descending into alcohol and drug addition. Zevon's 1982 album, The Envoy, began the decade in fine form, but it sold poorly, ending his relationship with Asylum records. His cynical edge gave his songs that Lennon-esque feel, and classics like "Mohammad's Radio," "Excitable Boy," and "Lawyers, Guns, and Money" hold up today as well as they did when Zevon first introduced them in the late 1970s. Although Zevon was often an electrifying performer on stage, it is his songs that have remained the center of his artistic legacy. Zevon was unquestionably a true original that found hopeless escape in his music. Unlike countless other songwriters who pursue this path, Zevon's songs remain upbeat and pleasant to listen to, investigating the dark side looking for light, and bringing truth to his songs in the process. Zevon wallows in the abyss of his own character flaws, using music to legitimize and eradicate them.
His cynicism has such a sweet coating that it remains irresistible. Herein lies the secret to his uniqueness as a songwriter. Despite the dark and cynical underpinnings to Zevon's songwriting and lyrics that are often downright disturbing, his music is often joyfully sunny. This would be the breakthrough album that would finally bring him the personal recognition he was searching for. In 1978, Zevon released his next album, Excitable Boy, to critical acclaim. Though only a modest success, Zevon's self-titled 1976 album would begin the second and far more successful phase of his career. A much darker and more ironic songwriter than other leading figures of that era's singer-songwriter movement, Zevon shared with them grounding in earlier folk and country influences and a commitment to an intellectual style of song craft. When he returned to Los Angeles during the mid-1970s, he soon became associated with the burgeoning music scene developing around Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, and the Eagles.
