Patricia Barber - Cafe Blue is an effects album

kb54 pretty much sums it up.  Jennifer Warnes !  Leonard Cohen !  Brilliant lyrics.  A gift to the world for his stunningly insightful poetic contribution to the world of music.

It was deep into his fiery heart 
He took the dust of Joan of Arc
And then she clearly understood
If if he was fire 
Then she must be wood

Live: A Fortnight in France is a great CD. I also like the Companion CD.

Thanks, all! Yes she is a great composer, musician and artist. Like Dianna Krall. Why are female artists so often overlooked by the men-mostly audiophile community? Even in 2023?

I bought Cafe Blue HDCD back in the '90s when I first heard her cover of "Ode To Billy Joe" on a public radio station I listened to, and I honestly never listened to it much.  (So I cannot really explain all the other Patricia Barber CDs I bought during that same period of time, except, perhaps, that I am somewhat OCD.)  In the last few years I have gained a new appreciation for Cafe Blue & I have picked up a couple of different SACDs of that release and I listen to them frequently and I enjoy the experience.
