Although Jordan Zevon is the son of the late Warren Zevon, its unlikely that Insides Out is an attempt to trade on the family name. (The looming spirit of the elder Zevon would probably point out how little commercial value the name had while he was still alive.) Instead, Jordans debut takes honorable cues from the power-pop of XTC, the Odds, and early Joe Jackson not artists with whom Warren was compared, though the Odds did once function as his backing band while his voice works a pleasant, much less whiny variation on that of Weezer lead singer Rivers Cuomo. Glossily produced and crisply played songs such as the Todd Rundgren-reminiscent Camila Rhodes and the nervously up-tempo, New Wave-polished The Jokes On Me suggest that wit and melodic talent have been passed down from generation to generation. Jordans subtle, albeit previously released, version of Warrens Studebaker would no doubt arose the old mans gruff pride.
