FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT

Here is a really simple version of a wonderful Leonard Cohen's song. It is taken from his outstanding 1971 album, "Songs of Love and Hate".

"Famous Blue Raincoat" is a firm favourite of mine. This recording is unrehearsed and very minimal. I am trying to show that you don't have to strum loudly or even use all the strings to make an effective accompaniment.

@ruth7784 Thank you, Ruth. I just sing the words and it comes out that way.

Great job! My favourite is Judy Collins' version, though. :-)

@ctrymaus I like Jenifer Warnes' interpretation.
