Jennifer Warnes performs her magical voice across several diverse musical hurdles with the beauty, drama and power of Jackie Joyner running an Olympic Sprint. Jennifer is extremely adept at bringing a listener into the story behind the song, which is what makes her so perfect in relating Cohen's lyrical prose genuis into a musical masterpiece.  She is virtually un-matched in her quilting notes and prose into an experience one cannot forget. She and Cohen here are as to what Bogey and MaCall, or Veronica Lake could do with nothing but black and white film.  She Transcends her medium as a Pop/Opera virtuoso into something that your mind cannot easily let loose from.  Her distinctive voice brings to mind others with similar enchanting qualities: Joni Mithchell, Streisand, Celine, Warick, Ross, who 'move' their audiences, but very few have the versatility to range in intensity as a "West Side Story" similarly demands.  Jennifer may have others with similar talents,  but Jennifer seems to excel here with the different ranges which Cohen's music demands like few others would dare attempt.  'Raincoat' is a trek, a journey of love, pain, despair, triumph, and struggles but it makes you appreciate every emotion evoked by this tremendous Lady.  Life is full of un-expected twists and turns, and Jennifer Radiates Life out of it all, by Touching your heart with her virtuosity of relating to the story behind the song.
