Jackson Browne, who produced Zevon's debut album and the hit "Werewolves of London," covered several of Zevon's songs, including "Desperados Under The Eaves" and "Don't Let Us Get Sick." Country legend Dwight Yoakam contributed a rendition of Zevon's "Carmelita," which he had previously covered on his own debut album.

Zevon's son Jordan expressed pride in his father's induction, noting that Zevon will be joining the ranks of other influential artists like Hank Williams, Woody Guthrie, and Billie Holiday.
