八十年代最具代表性的女聲演唱經典之作

世紀發燒天籟名盤全球唯一180G黑膠版終極黃金版

美國音響權威雜誌TAS發燒天書評為最佳錄音盤

八十年代集詩人、小說家、詞曲作者、歌手等多重身分的現代藝術家Leonard Cohen說：「珍妮佛華恩絲的歌聲就像「加州陽光」一樣，她善於去體會一首歌曲的神髓，然後用聲音表達出來，讓聽者感染到歌曲中豐沛的生命力，因此她可說是一名最佳的「聲音表演者」。一九七九年她為電影《諾瑪蕾》(Norma Rae)演唱一首“It goes like it goes"，為她贏得奧斯卡最佳電影歌曲獎，而在樂壇大放異彩，八二年她和Joe Cocker再為電影《軍官與紳士》合唱“Up Where We Belong"，一九八七年和Bill Medley為《熱舞十七》合唱“(I’ve had) the Time of My life"，不但分別拿下了流行榜上冠軍曲，更再度拿下奧斯卡最佳歌曲獎即葛萊美獎的最佳二重唱獎，華恩絲旋即成了紅遍全球的女歌手。

這張一九八七年錄製的專集「著名的藍雨衣」是一張向Cohen致敬的作品，動用了大編製的樂隊，把歌曲中含蓄的情緒用曲是烘托出來，使其蘊涵了豐富的文學性及音樂性。九首歌曲，曲曲都是佳作，特別一提的是“First we take Manhattan"中有德州藍調吉他大師Stevie Ray Vaughan流暢的吉他演奏，全曲更顯奔放淋漓；Cohen和華恩絲合唱的“Joan of Arc"是首壯闊的搖滾史詩，在編曲及合聲的運用上氣勢磅礡，震撼人心。此外，為了提高專輯質感，本輯的錄音、混音工程都力求完美，發行後立即成為專門品鑑音響器材的發燒友們爭相收藏的「發燒名盤」，更是樂迷不容錯過的經典作品。
