Free Music Notes for Famous Blue Raincoat: 20th Anniversary Edition
Free Music Review: Desert Island Selection - Seven Stars
Hit: 5 Stars
With this collection, Jennifer Warnes helped many people to discover the songwriting brillaince of Leonard Cohen. Many also realized that they had missed just how incredible of a vocalist Jennifer is. But it all starts with the songs and these are outstanding. It's kind of funny that I got to know Cohen through Joe Cocker's version of Bird on a Wire and I got to know Jennifer through her duet with Joe on Up Where We Belong. It's like there is proof of Zappa's Conceptual Continuity everywhere if we just look and listen. So sit back and listen to these songs over and over. You will find that love is the force that unites us all.
This would be one of the last albums I'd part with if forced to trim my collection - and I mostly listen to rock. Every aspect of this disc is excellent or better. I bought the vinyl when it came out over 20 years ago and endured the critics nitpicking the realities of recorded sound. What they didn't realize was that they were listening to it turned up really loud because the music is so grand it demands one to take it to the limit. Anything but the best systems will show some audible distortion if you crank it loud enough. This is a great sounding disc.
Free Music Review: I LOVE this CD!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the best CD I've ever purchased. No one can top Jennifer Warnes' voice and her interpretation of Leonard Cohen's music is beyond belief. I love the song Ballad of the Runaway Horse. I had never heard that song. Now I'm eager to find Leonard's rendition of it too! You can't go wrong with Jennifer Warnes. She can sing anything! Free Music Review: Delightful remaster of a wonderful album
Hit: 5 Stars
There is nothing subtle about the differences between this and the original CD. The original wasn't badly done at all (for the times), but this was is more three-dimensional, and I find myself far more aware of the individual instruments.
Free Music Review: And The Heavens Sing....
Hit: 5 Stars
The best word I can think of for this recording is"celestial"..it is a work of angelic beauty and bliss. Additional cuts are well worth purchasing,even if you have the original. Packaging is even high art. "Song of Bernadette" stirs such deep emotion in its' lyrics that a tear comes to my eyes every time I hear it. "Joan of Arc" does the same.The sincerity of Warnes' admiration for Cohen is apparant throughout. One can pray for another collaborative effort between the two.
Free Music Review: Jennifer Warnes Still a Phenomenon
Hit: 5 Stars
Jennifer Warnes is one of those master singers whose celebrity has not caught up to her voice.
The anniversary release of her Blue Raincoat CD is an absolute gem resonating and transporting with the poetic music of Leonard Cohen.
A match made in heaven? Maybe not, but, definitely a match made for eternity.
