If you haven't heard "The Singer Must Die", done a capella with some of the greatest singers in LA at the time (including David Lasley, who can sing anything for anyone and still be a lovely man without a hint of arrogance to his bones), using no synthesizer... well, you've missed a bit of heaven on earth. The entire track makes me think of William Blake. That should tell you something.Try to get the original vinyl, or failing that, a high end CD. But regardless, get it. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Meh - doesn't live up to the positive reviews *by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2016* I like Leonard Cohen and bought this based on stellar reviews, but I found nothing special here. The performances are solid but uninspired. Warnes has a nice voice and a couple of the songs are artistically compelling but others just fall flat for me.The recording is just meh. It's not bad, but not great either. It is not dynamically compressed which is a nice surprise. Some people complain about having to turn up the volume, but that's a good thing - they're probably used to listening to overly compressed recordings. The sound quality varies from song to song but has an unnatural edge to it, generally just a touch harsh in the upper mids / lower treble. The lower bass on most tracks sounds a bit hollow and spectrum analysis shows everything below 40 Hz is attenuated to near zero. Sounds like it was engineered or remastered to sound good on car radios or cheap stereos. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best albums EVER gets a face lift ... *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2007* Jennifer Warnes is a singer's singer, and Leonard Cohen is a songwriter's songwriter. They are each at the front of their game and are brilliant in unique, almost tangible ways. I am not certain whose idea the original album was, but what a wondrous pairing! Warnes adds new levels to each of the excellent Cohen songs she interprets here and does a remarkable job on her songwriting collaboration with Cohen, "Song of Bernadette."Americans barely noticed this superb collection during its initial release; it was overshadowed by Warnes' #1 song "The Time Of My Life" of the same year. However, I don't believe anyone can say he or she has heard Jennifer Warnes at her best without hearing this recording! Warnes' immaculate interepretation of "Famous Blue Raincoat" blows Tori Amos' well-known version out of the water! Just as exquisite are "Bird On A Wire," "First We Take Manhattan" and "Ain't No Cure For Love." Warnes and her co-producer, C. Roscoe Beck, handpicked a batch of amazing musicians for this 1987 CD, including a Stevie Ray Vaughan guitar performance that is mind-blowing! Snatch this anniversary-edition CD up and listen to it like there is no tomorrow ... it's brilliant!This edition's remastering is spectacular, and it suits the legendary engineering of this album perfectly. And the bonus tracks are anything but "B" material. Oh, and just wait until you hear Warnes' live solo version of "Joan of Arc"! Chances are, you'll be left speechless.This CD is a must for any audiophile or fan of solid, intelligent, vibrant music. I'd give this CD 100 stars if I could! Buy this CD for yourself and an extra one for someone you love. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/38476602-famous-blue-raincoat](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/38476602-famous-blue-raincoat) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
