Jennifer Warnes 20th Ann Famous Blue Raincoat RI

I have this on 2 Limited Edition gold CDs, an older Private Music release and the recent Cisco Music 20th Anniversary issue.
The Private Music release is mellower and rounder while the Cisco is sharper, clearer, more focused and detailed (in a couple of places I would even call it edgy).
The new Cisco release is all analog re-mastered by Bernie Grundman but to me doesn't sound like it.
The Private Music release sounds more "tubey". Go figure.
I'm not sure I prefer one over the other, they're just different. I don't like all the songs but some are fabulous.

Yeah, Lenny can be a downer for sure.

I also like Jennifer Warnes music very much. Although there are some fabulous songs on FBR it's my least favorite of her releases. I think "The Hunter" and "The Well" are much better albums.
My favorite is a Greatest Hits CD compiled by the German label Zounds. The selection is very good and the CD sounds excellent. There was another Greatest Hits CD that was awful.
There seems to be a vein of melancholy running through all of her albums even without the downer quality of Leonard Cohens lyrics.
BTW: For JW fans, a gold version of The Hunter is scheduled for release by Cisco soon.
Raks, I was not aware of the situation you mention concerning "The Well". I'll be more careful with my copy.

Heads up for JW fans, Blu-spec version of "The Hunter" is scheduled for release in Japan on 6/10/09.

Well, if your system's too bright he can give it some darkness, that's for sure.

Yes, a new album would be great!

I was thinking maybe another album of covers by some great writer, like Dylan for instance, could be very interesting; in the vein of Famous Blue Raincoat. Or another mix of covers like The Well or The Hunter would be fine as well. Jenny, get busy girl! You have fans out here who want to hear your voice!
