Music reviews of Famous Blue Raincoat: 20th Anniversary Edition
Music Review: A wonderful find
Rating: 5 Stars
Having finally learned how to download MP3's, I started searching all the
old stuff that I loved so well so many years ago. One of the songs I
was looking for was the duet between Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes.
While searching for that I ran into this album. I LOVE IT.
It's a little bit weird, very tuneful, featuring a marvelous voice. My
favorites are First We Take Manhattan and Joan of Arc. But almost all
songs are winners.
Description of Famous Blue Raincoat: 20th Anniversary Edition
On Famous Blue Raincoat: The Songs of Leonard Cohen, Jennifer Warnes rearranged and reinterpreted some of Leonard Cohen's greatest songs for a unique album that remains the ultimate tribute to Cohen's music. It was greeted with rave reviews, and made numerous year-end best-of lists. This deluxe new reissue contains four previously unreleased songs and a 24-page booklet with rare photos from Warnes' personal collection.Best known for such pop hits as the Oscar- and Grammywinning duets "(I've Had) The Time of My Life," with Bill Medley, from the film Dirty Dancing, and "Up Where We Belong," with Joe Cocker, from the film An Officer and a Gentleman, Jennifer Warnes has earned her greatest acclaim for Farmous Blue Raincoat, considered by many to be one of thebest albums of the '80s
Features four previously unreleased recordings
Digitally remastered from the original analog tapes
Deluxe booklet that tells the story behind one of the most acclaimed albums of all time
"Her voice is like the California weather--filled with sunlight , but there's an earthquake behind it." --Leonard Cohen
Since Ella Fitzgerald never produced a songbook of Leonard Cohen songs, Jennifer Warnes's plush 1986 tribute is the next best thing. The sleekly seductive "First We Take Manhattan" is gilded by the guitars of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Robben Ford. Warnes doesn't add much to an evergreen like "Bird on a Wire," but she lays claim to the noirish title song with a confidential vocal that complements the chamber-pop arrangement. "Song of Bernadette" is a ripened gem, and the selection where Warnes lets down her refined vocal technique to reveal deep emotions. More often, Warnes is as professionally accomplished on this well-chosen set as her band of studio pros. --John Milward
