Like Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen has the distinction of being a superior songwriter whose often-covered songs seldom rival the original (due in part to Cohen's inimitable voice). That changed with the appearance of Jennifer Warnes' FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT. Best known for her soft rock-oriented pop material, Warnes took a surprising (and critically acclaimed) turn on a this collection of first-rate interpretations. Cohen and Warnes worked together on the album (he duets with her on "Joan of Arc"), so these versions carry the poetic depth and breadth of Cohen's original vision. The arrangements might be glossy compared to Cohen's stark originals, but they also suit Warnes' smooth, accomplished approach. "First We Take Manhattan," "Ain't No Cure for Love," and the title track are standouts.
