Due to popular demand, Jennifer Warnes' acclaimed follow-up album to “Famous Blue Raincoat” – “The Hunter” – is finally available again. The album reached the Top 100 of the LP charts when it was released in 1992. “The Hunter” includes the hit single “Rock You Gently,” a sonically dense yet expansive cover version of the Waterboys classic “The Whole Of The Moon,” the soulful composition “Way Down Deep” by Jennifer Warnes and Leonard Cohen, Todd Rundgren's “Pretending To Care,” and even a song by Donald Fagen (Steely Dan): “Big Noise, New York.” “Her voice is like the weather in California, rich in sunshine. But there's an earthquake behind it.” Leonard Cohen said this about Jennifer Warnes, and this album is further proof of how apt his statement was.
Supported by first-class session musicians who underpin the songs with unobtrusive authority and give Warnes' incomparable art of interpretation the prominence it deserves, she makes every song her own. The music does not play for Warnes' voice; rather, her vocal skills are an instrument that interacts perfectly with the music. Embark on an unforgettable musical journey with “The Hunter”: between guitars, bass, and vocals, as well as congas, talking drums, and Celtic tambourines, you will enter a fascinating world!
The Grammy-nominated recording by Elliot Scheiner comes as a 180-gram LP (33 RPM) and was mastered entirely with tube equipment by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering, using Jennifer Warnes' personal original analog master tapes and under her supervision
