Famous Blue Raincoat: 20th Anniversary Edition
Date undefinedI can't believe I had never heard of this album until I just stumbled across it while browsing music online. The first time I listened to it, I was simply amazed. This is truly one of the greatest albums I own. The combination of Leonard Cohen's songwriting genius and Jennifer's rich voice make for an unforgettable album that stands up to repeated listenings.

Date undefinedI will echo what one of the other reviewers has said: sometimes you want a real singer to sing real songs. Cohen is a much better poet than we can ever hope to get in pop music, but Warnes has a real voice. Cohen is prone to sing flat at times. His voice drifts downward. Warnes has a better instrument. And even if you didn't know who Cohen or Warnes were, this is a great record anyway.

Date undefinedIf you liked the original release and you have the equipment to realise the benefit of the remastering then this is a well worth while addition to your collection.
The sound quality over the original is spectacular I could hear things that never existed in the original standard release Jennifers voice and the backing vocals present themselves as if it were a personal performance.
I would like to see the same done to the Hunter album or maybe an SACD 5.1 version of both of them, their is nothing like quality and this album has it in spades and then some.
