Reading advertisements for the mammoth Leonard Cohen tour reminded me how his monotonous and melancholic voice would put me off going. Instead, I will listen again to one of my all time favourite albums Famous Blue Raincoat. Jennifer Warnes has never recorded anything so beautiful as this, and the reviews on Amazon confirm I am not alone in this view. It is hard to believe that it was released in 1986, it sounds so fresh every time I play it. The combination of her voice and the Cohen songs is just perfect. A work of art.
