Jennifer Warnes - The Hunter (30th Anniversary) - LP [ Record ]

Impex Records is celebrating the 30th Anniversary of The Hunter with a one-time pressing of 3,000 in crystal clear green vinyl! Jennifer Warnes' acclaimed follow-up to Famous Blue Raincoat features a Grammy-nominated recording by Elliot Scheiner and all-tube mastering by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering using Jennifer's personal original analog master tapes.

The Hunter was released five years after her breakthrough with Famous Blue Raincoat. A TOP 100 LP when first released in 1992, The Hunter's audiophile credibility is best summed up by Elliot Scheiner's Grammy-nominated recording and mix. It contains the charting single "Rock You Gently," a sonically dense yet expansive cover of The Waterboys classic "The Whole of the Moon," a soulful Jennifer Warnes/Leonard Cohen composition "Way Down Deep," Todd Rundgren's "Pretending to Care" and even a Donald Fagen tune ("Big Noise, New York"). She owns every tune here, backed by a-list session players who ground the songs with solid and unobtrusive authority, letting Jennifer's peerless interpretive skills bring the soul of every lyric to the forefront. Ms. Warnes uses her voice to serve the lyrics, allowing the song to return the favor.

Arista (now Sony/BMG) never released The Hunter on vinyl in the U.S. A regular-weight LP floated around Europe for a while but is not noted for exceptional sound or quiet vinyl.
