Description

Famous Blue Raincoat" is a song by Leonard Cohen. It is the sixth track on his third album, Songs of Love and Hate, released in 1971.

Famous Blue Raincoat ‎(LP, Album). Attic, Cypress Records. Famous Blue Raincoat: The Songs Of Leonard Cohen ‎(CD, Album, RE, 20t). Great Tribute to Leonard Cohen featuring lost guitar great Stevie Ray Vaughn on "First We Take Manhattan" and Leonard Cohen himself in a vocal duet with Jennifer Warnes on "Joan Of Arc" and the lyric inner-sleeve even features a little drawing by Leonard Cohen with the words "Jenny Sings Lenny" as part of it! This original 1986 pressing is hard-to-find and great sounding. Reply Notify me Helpful.

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. I’m not a fan of Leonard Cohen’s own recordings, but Jennifer Warnes does a fantastic job of bringing out the poignancy and melodic complexity in Cohen songs. Published 10 months ago.

Jennifer Warnes was familiar with Leonard Cohen from a tour of duty as one of his backup singers in the early '70s, but this collection of Cohen's songs must have shocked her AM radio fans who knew her from her '70s country-pop hits and her movie themes, if they were even able to connect the woman who sang. It's the right time of the night for makin' love" with the one who declared "First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin" over stinging guitar work by Stevie Ray Vaughan on the opening track here
