Some background information on the covers from the new Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers record, Showboats and Grandstanders.
The three covers on "Showboats" are “The Rest of the Night,” “The Little Things," and "Out of the Blue.”
Track Cover #1: The Rest of the Night
This track on TCYR’s Showboats and Grandstanders album features backing vocals and harmonica from Kenn Kweder. The track was recorded on November 30, 2018.
“The Rest of the Night” is a track from Warren Zevon’s twelfth and final studio album, The Wind. The song is written by Warren Zevon and Jorge Calderón.
The Wind was produced by Jorge Calderón, Noah Scot Snyder and Warren Zevon. Calderon also co-wrote seven of the 11 tracks on the album, and plays bass, acoustic guitar, various percussion, electric guitar, and provides background vocals.
(Jorge Calderon holds the unique distinction of having been credited on all of Warren Zevon's post-1976 albums with the exception of My Ride's Here.)
The Wind was released on August 26, 2003, by Artemis Records. Zevon began recording the album shortly after he was diagnosed with inoperable pleural mesothelioma—-a cancer of the lining of the lung—and it was released just two weeks before his death on September 7, 2003.
The album won in the category for Best Contemporary Folk Album at the Grammy Awards in 2004. "Disorder in the House," performed by Zevon and Bruce Springsteen, also won a Grammy for Best Rock Vocal Performance (Group or Duo) that year.
Warren Zevon’s last appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman occurred on Oct. 30, 2002. Zevon credited the comedian and TV host as "being the best friend my music ever had."
