Hallelujah by Lenard Cohen

Jennifer Warnes. The album is all Cohen covers by Warnes: "Famous Blue
Raincoat"

Qdrone - I agree, Basquait is a great film, and Jeffrey Wright's performance is superb and uncanny. If you liked Jeffrey Wright in that, see Jim Jarmusch's latest film where he plays Bill Murray's armchair detective neighbor. He and Murray have great chemistry in that film. Very subtle and also a great movie.

While it is Leonard Cohen songs--that particular song is not on there--unless I've somehow missed something.

Ah, you must not know about the Audiophile secret track on the Famous Blue Raincoat CD, that is actuated by the simultaneous use of a Magic Brick, Brilliant Pebbles, a Clever Li'l Clock, and one of those green blocker pens judiciously applied to the trimmed down edges of the CD which has been demagnetized on both sides by the Furutech device: Only when all are used properly at the same time will you actually hear Warnes singing "Hallelujah" on FBR! It is the illusive Track 10. I've never actually heard it myself, but I have faith that it is there if I ever need to. I'm sure it sounds really good too (jaws dropping, and all that).

I'm pretty sure you have to play it backwards to hear the lyrics.

I had a feeling you knew the last key to revealing the holy grail of track 10. I just didn't want to give it ALL away!

PS Beautiful system, BTW. Now there's an SS system I'd like to hear! It strikes back to a similar combination that I found unforgettable from having heard it in late 80's (powerful, clean, bi-amped SS driving large MLs). Raised the hairs on the back of my neck.

you are welcome to listen the next time you are in Iowa city (I should be safe--who goes to Iowa City?)

Damn, and I was just recently in Des Moines shooting for a book project! No, seriously, I'm not kidding!
