Famous Blue Raincoat - It should be more famous...
After hearing it back in the 1990's, this album made a huge impression in me. I've been trying to track this album down for several months, and was delighted to find it on eBay.
I wasn't much of a Leonard Cohen fan, having casually written him off as "depressing" as a teenager - probably partly as a pointless rebellion against my father who was a huge LC fan. But when I heard this album the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. Partly because of Jennifer Warnes spectacular voice, but largely at the sheer beauty of the songs themselves. They were poetry. It led to me to reassess my position on Cohen, and I'm glad I did. Hearing him again with a few more years under my belt opened up a wonderful world of divine lyricism. I remain thankful to Jennifer Warnes' "Famous Blue Raincoat" for that gift.
