Featured article
Studebaker is a song by Warren Zevon first released as a performance by his son Jordan Zevon on the 2005 tribute album Enjoy Every Sandwich: Songs of Warren Zevon. A demo take recorded by Warren was released on the 2007 compilation album Preludes: Rare and Unreleased Recordings, and Jordan's version was released as part of his 2008 album, Insides Out. The song describes a young and not well travelled "no prospects" man and his fight to keep his Studebaker car running.
