Short description
The follow-up to Jennifer Warnes' well received Leonard Cohen covers album, FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT, THE HUNTER finds Warnes applying her velvety voice to tunes by everyone from Todd Rundgren ("Pretending to Care") to the Waterboys ("The Whole of the Moon"). Cohen himself lends a hand too, co-writing "Way Down Deep". While Warnes began her career as a straight-ahead pop singer, she stretches her sound out on THE HUNTER to accommodate ballads and more rock-oriented tracks with equal aplomb. It's miles away from her early-'80s pop success with "Up Where We Belong", and definitively confirms her status as a mature, sophisticated song stylist.
