"Keep Me in Your Heart" comes from The Wind, the album Warren Zevon released in 2003, and it's a small, close-quarters recording: Zevon singing lead, his co-writer Jorge Calderón on acoustic guitar, bass and tres, and Jim Keltner on drums. Calderón and engineer Noah Scot Snyder produced it with Zevon, and Snyder mixed it, leaving plenty of air around that voice.
One station's listeners have refused to let it go, carrying it on their countdowns for two decades.
