Famous Blue Raincoat - Original + Covers

[anarkxpunk]

Great work mixing all this covers... such a great song... thanks for sharing

[XxHeartagramHeavenxX]

So today I found out the song I like by this chick named Marissa is a cover, and the best cover I've heard so far, even though I've yet to hear the original.

@XxHeartagramHeavenxX oooohhhh wait...that Leonard guy...

[Kailystos]

I'd say either Joan Baez or Tori Amos for best cover. I love Baez's voice, but Tori's version nearly makes me cry :o

[idamia]

The only one that comes close is Tori.

[deathysshadow]

JoCo anybody?

[Johnny6666]

Marissa Nadler's version is a supremely confident reading of the song, and far more convincing than the mannered, tacky Tori Amos version - which reduces the material to a late night barfly torch song.

[Hirnlego999]

Leonard's is obviously the best version. Second I'd have to put Tori..

[MadMaz57]

Great to hear so many versions of a fantastic song, very well put together. Bravo!

[magischepotje]

briljant song,also take a look of the rock version of this song from rickyenslingertje of famous blue raincoat 2009. brand new,i think this guys did a great job!!

[yukwan52]

Excellent job! Thank you so much!

[VolkColopatrion]

Horray, Tori.

[marktrade0]

Thanks to all, but especially to Jennyfer Warnes, she is just like female part of Leonard Cohen

[macaonghus]

What a good idea to link them all together...

[Musiclnsider]

I like Marissa Nadlers' cover the most.

[NETSY296]

sad mysogynist self-obsessed depressive who treated women like shit - what a deluded non-man shitbag

[VolkColopatrion]

no one has sympathy anymore.

[NETSY296]

What do you want Volko from a battered wife?

[VolkColopatrion]

i want sympathy for a man that struggled.

[NETSY296]

You have it. I feel really sorry for him. How his knuckles must have hurt after punching those women and ran away from justice to write those self-obsessed feeling sorry for his sad non-man self songs that other, not self-obsessed (well, most of 'em - not womenwhacker liars, anyway) singers sang better. Happy Easter!

Fantastico.Five stars.

I heard Lloyd Cole's cover of 'Famous Blue Raincoat' from on a CD titled 'Rare on Air' ( Volume 2 ) KCRW. Fantastic live track. Fantastic song, singer and music. God Bless Leonard Cohen! Well done LLoyd Cole!

[jasonsechrest]

God, you should do this for a LOT of songs. You're really good at it.

[DarleneRC]

Really nice editing ... I didn't know this many covers of this song existed!

I love this song.
