The Hunter (Jennifer Warnes album)

The Hunter is the seventh studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Jennifer Warnes, released in 1992. It is characterized by its eclectic mix of genres, including folk, rock, jazz, and blues, and is known for its high production quality and Warnes's interpretive vocal performances. The album features songs written by or co-written by prominent songwriters such as Leonard Cohen, Donald Fagen, and Walter Becker (of Steely Dan). Notable tracks include "Rock You Gently," "The Hunter," and "Lights of the Nile." The Hunter received critical acclaim for its sonic depth and Warnes's vocal artistry, and is often cited as a benchmark for audiophile recording quality. It followed Warnes's earlier album of Leonard Cohen compositions, Famous Blue Raincoat, and further solidified her reputation as an interpreter of complex and emotionally resonant material.
