Famous Blue Raincoat is the 6th album by Jennifer Warnes, and her first with the Private Music label. It peaked at No. 72 on the Billboard 200.
Released in 1987, Famous Blue Raincoat is a tribute to Leonard Cohen, with whom Warnes had toured as a backup singer in the 1970s. The album's songs span much of Cohen's career, from his 1969 album Songs from a Room to his 1984 album Various Positions (on which Warnes sang), and even two tracks from Cohen's then-unreleased album I'm Your Man.
Guest contributors include guitarists Stevie Ray Vaughan, David Lindley and Robben Ford, keyboardist Russell Ferrante, arranger Van Dyke Parks and Cohen himself duetting on "Joan of Arc."
The liner notes include a cartoon by Cohen of a torch being passed with the caption, "Jenny Sings Lenny."
The album is the first record produced by Roscoe Beck and is considered one of the most well-produced of all time and is often used by audiophiles to test or demonstrate high-end stereo equipment.It was recorded on Sony digital equipment. In August 2007, a remastered and expanded 20th anniversary edition was released.
