Customer Reviews of Hunter
Warnes' voice shines like no others Lord knows what Phil Sutcliffe was thinking when he wrote his 'critics' review! Warnes' voice is one of the finest musical instruments on the face of the Earth and The Hunter shows her in her best form. (I just melt when I hear Warnes's sighs and sometimes breathy vocalizing.) While not as gritty as Famous Blue Raincoat, this album contains many gems including a number of original tunes written by Warnes herself. Songs like "The Hunter" and "Lights of Lousianne" show that Warnes is no slouch when it comes to penning great songs. Arrangements by Van Dyke Parks and guest appearances by the likes of Donald Fagen and Richard Thompson only add to the album's greatness. The only sad note about this album is that it was done eight years ago - it's about time we heard some new JW (besides Disney commercials).
The Hunter is a mixed bag of mediocre and excellent
Jennifer Warnes is a rare stylist in that she uses her unique voice to interpret common human emotions. She does more than just sing. She makes you vulnerable to your own emotions. Although I was disappointed with the lack of punch in some of the songs on this album, I was spellbound by others. Though I am not given to emotional ballads about the agonies of lost love, her stirring rendition of "Pretending To Care" has to be one of the finest interpretive songs I have ever heard. This album almost needs to grow on you. I found I had to be patient with it, but in the end, Jennifer's unique voice wins out. It helps to be a fan.
Fateful Jennifer Warnes
I stumbled on the greatness that is Jennifer Warnes. Like most, I knew her peripherally by the movie themes she charted with. In the early 90's I happened to be shopping for a new CD player and Famous Blue Raincoat was in the player. The minute I heard it, it sounded like nothing I had ever heard. I bought the CD and it has been one of my top 10 favorites since then. It's unfortunately clear why she did not have the conventional pop success. There is no one like her. She's evocative of Joni Mitchell and possibly Judy Collins, but not really. She is truly an original. I bemoaned the fact that she seemed to disappear from the recording studio. Fate intervened again and I stumbled on the fact that she had indeed recorded two additional CD's, "The Hunter" and "The Well". I immediately ordered both. So far I have only listened to The Hunter and again she proves her brilliance again. As mentioned in other reviews, "Pretending To Care" is heartbreaking. I also particularly like "Rock You Gently" and "The Hunter". All of the songs are gems. Another Jennifer Warnes CD in my top 10. I can't wait to listen the next CD "The Well".
