A Quiet Normal Life: The Best Of Warren Zevon is a greatest hits vinyl record by Warren Zevon released in 1986. Warren Zevon’s second album (his first, Wanted Dead or Alive, appeared in 1969) Warren Zevon included three songs “Hasten Down the Wind”, “Carmelita” and “Poor Poor Pitiful Me”, that gained popularity from Linda Ronstandt’s cover versions. Zevon’s second album, although it achieved critical acclaim and sold better than his solo debut, lingered at the bottom of the pop charts. Warren Zevon finally broke through with the song “Werewolves of London” from his third album Excitable Boy. Although Excitable Boy sold well, Zevon had a difficult time capitalizing on the success of the album. The follow-up album Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School features Zevon’s cover of Ernie K-Doe’s “A Certain Girl” and while the single did chart, it was not included on A Quiet Normal Life. Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School peaked at #20.
