I love the voice of Jennifer Warnes.  She takes these songs by Leonard Cohen, and she makes these songs her own.  "First We Take Manhattan" is my favorite cut.  I love the guitar playing by the late great Stevie Ray Vaughan here.  "Famous Blue Raincoat" is a song that sounds like a love letter between two people who are apart from each other.  I love the saxophone playing on this track.  "Song of Bernadette" is a lovely track.  The piano playing accompanies Jennifer's vocals well here.  "Aint No Cure For Love" is a very pretty song with a romantic tone.  "Joan of Arc" is an interesting song about the thoughts and feelings of this historic figure.  I love the beat of this song very much.  Jennifer Warnes sounds so melodic and crisp throughout this disc.  I really enjoyed listening to this CD.
