I also believe Zevon used to write tv commercial jingles in his early years also??

im sure theres others who were songwriters who ended up recording in their own right later on also.

but Neil Sedaka, Neil Diamond and Willie Nelson come immediately to mind.

interesting you mention Randy and JB bob_32, I believe there is a connection between Zevon and those two artists somewhere from something I read
a long time ago, I cannot remember what it is, so im going away to Wiki it, assuming such a trivial thing would be on Wiki.

I can see why Neil Young helped out, album cover has a "trans" feel happening (should include 'my robot' in that also!) LOL

and, I cannot play your linked track neither..."not available" etc

I believe Linda Ronstadt has recorded songs by all three. Not sure if there's any other connection.
