''Famous Blue Raincoat'' is the sixth studio album recorded by the American singer Jennifer Warnes. It debuted on the ''Billboard'' 200 on February 14, 1987 and peaked at No. 72 in the US Billboard chart and No.33 in the UK albums chart. Originally released by Cypress Records (RCA records in the UK), it was reissued by Private Music after Cypress went out of business. It is the only Jennifer Warnes album to make the UK albums chart (up to September 2014). Released in January 1987, ''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 songs ("First We Take Manhattan" and "Ain't No Cure for Love") 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 is the first record produced by Roscoe Beck.〔Buchholz, Brad - ("Portrait of Cohen - Two generations of Austin players acknowledge the majesty of one of America's foremost song-poets" ), ''Austin360.com''〕 In August 2007, a remastered and expanded 20th anniversary edition was released. ==Track listing== All songs written by Leonard Cohen except where noted. # "First We Take Manhattan" – 3:47 # "Bird on a Wire" – 4:42 # "Famous Blue Raincoat" – 5:33 # "Joan of Arc" – 7:57 # "Ain't No Cure for Love" – 3:21 # "Coming Back to You" – 3:43 # "Song of Bernadette" – 3:55 (Jennifer Warnes, Bill Elliott, Cohen) # "A Singer Must Die" – 4:52 # "Came So Far for Beauty" – 3:37 (Cohen, John Lissauer) ;Additional tracks on 20th anniversary reissue # #"Ballad of the Runaway Horse" #"If It Be Your Will" #"Joan of Arc" (Live in Antwerp, Belgium, 1992) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Famous Blue Raincoat (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
