ABOUT THE RECORD Famous Blue Raincoat, by Jennifer Warnes, was originally released by Cypress Records, it was reissued by Private Music after Cypress went out of business. Famous Blue Raincoat is a tribute to Leonard Cohen, with whom Warnes had toured as a backup singer in the 1970s. The album's songs span much of Cohen's career, from his 1969 album Songs from a Room to his 1984 album Various Positions (on which Warnes sang), and even two tracks from Cohen's then-unreleased album I'm Your Man. Guest contributors include guitarists Stevie Ray Vaughan, David Lindley and Robben Ford, drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, keyboardist Russell Ferrante, arranger Van Dyke Parks and Cohen himself duetting on Joan of Arc. The liner notes include a cartoon by Cohen of a torch being passed with the caption, "Jenny Sings Lenny." The album also produced one charting single, First We Take Manhatten, which reached #29 on Billboard Adult Contemporary charts. According to a review on allmusic.com, "For Warnes, the album meant her first taste of real critical success: suddenly a singer who had seemed like a second-rate Linda Ronstadt now appeared to be a first-class interpretive artist."
