-'''"Worrier King"''' is a song that Warren Zevon would sing during live performances, although it nerved appeared on any of his studio albums. A recording of him playing and singing the song does however appear on the live compilation album ''[[Learning to Flinch]]'' (1993). In 1992, Warren met blues performer ''[[wikipedia:John P.
