Well it arrived in the mail today. You are right her voice is fantastic. I think I will bring it with me to the Headroom show tomorrow. See what she sounds like through the Orpheus and the Blockhead. I unfortuantely left my amp at work so I will wait until tomorrow to listen to her with headphones.

Did you also get "The Well"? I think it may be better than "Famous Blue Raincoat". If you do like "The Well" there is a very good album by Emmylou Harris called "Wrecking Ball" that reminds me of "The Well" in the way they are produced. If you don't already have this CD, it is well worth the price. Sorry to get off topic, but it seems this topic has swung halfway to Jennifer Warnes anyway, and I think that finding out about different kinds of music is what we're all trying to accomplish.

Originally posted by Mr.PD The only Leonard Cohen song I have ever heard is "The Future" it is the song that plays during the closing credits of NATURAL BORN KILLERS. I love that song I recorded that song into mp3 from the DVD of that movie. I really do love that song, it's one of my all time fav's.

he also sings a song that is played during the opening credits (which i happen to like more): waiting for the miracle.


pick up the soundtrack, it's ingenious. of course, you can't expect anything less when trent reznor produced it..

I love leonard cohen. I have "leonard cohen: songs" and I listen to it often. I love his enigmatic lyrics.

I ordered it at the same time but they were coming from different warehouses. I am looking forward to listening to it also. I have listened to the songs from "Famous Blue Raincoat" on a number of different setups including the Orpheus at the Headroom show. If you get a chance to go to the show I would highly recommend listening to her at the "High End" box of equipment. It is one of the recordings that I will use from now on to do comparisons.

Finally got the Emmylou Harris' Wrecking Ball CD. She has a different voice than Jennifer but I am enjoying it very much. I have listened to the track "Deeper Well" over and over again.

Yea, "Deeper Well" is a very well recorded song. I really like "Wrecking Ball" because she covers so many different artists,
some of them well known (Hendrix, Dylan, Young), and three of my favorites who aren't so well known (Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, and Gillian Welch), probably because they won't compromise their music to fit into any niche. If you get a chance to hear any of these people solo they're well worth a listen.

Well Rick your tastes and mine have coincided so far and I have enjoyed each of your recommendations.
There are three new artists on my list to listen to. Thanks.

I also want to get Jennifer Warnes The Hunter but I haven't had much luck finding it.
