Album DescriptionAvailable in:
My Ride's Here is the eleventh studio album by American singer/songwriter Warren Zevon, released in 2002 (see 2002 in music). Zevon described it as "a meditation on death"; it was released several months before Zevon was diagnosed with terminal mesothelioma.
Mark Deming of Allmusic rated My Ride's Here two out of five stars. He stated that "the jokes tend to be a bit obvious", and that "the more introspective moments don't connect the way one might hope". However, he said that some of the tracks "are strong enough to remind listeners of just how talented Zevon still is". He concluded by saying that the album "is a misfire from an artist capable of much better work." Robert Christgau rated the album an A-, stating that Zevon was "at his best in the fictional-mythic mode that prevails". However, he said that he was "not above touring acoustic to shore up his collateral".
