See what happens when I start looking at scenery? I forget where I am! Actually, I didn’t forget, I just didn’t take time to add to my list of songs with “bed” in the title, honoring my new bed. So here it is.....and it’ll be no surprise to anyone.
#3: Bed of Coals - Warren Zevon
John said he wanted “the Z man.” Well, here he is. With Linda Ronstadt (who, FYI Mr. Roberts, mentioned Homer & Jethro in an interview in Bluegrass Unlimited, so there! 
) in tow!
A longtime favorite, complete with one of my favorite Zevon lines (“I’m too old to die young and too young to die now”)....and Linda Ronstadt singing harmony. Man, she makes this song her own....and she’s only singing backup!
Bed of Coals
Written by Warren Zevon and T-Bone Burnett
Recorded by Warren Zevon
From Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School, 1980
I pray for the power to turn it around:

That girl backup singer is quite good. I wonder if she ever went solo and had any success with that voice.

She really should have. Y’know, there are a couple of Zevon songs I bet she could’ve done really well!!!

@FourWalls A singer like her might have done justice to a tune like "Poor Poor Pitiful Me."

I just bought a new bed. Doesn’t take much to get the squeaky wheels in my head turning!

I'm not familiar with this song or Zevon. Hope you have a wonderful Sunday.
