Jennifer Warnes The Well
Full Details
Jennifer Warnes' The Well on 180g 45RPM Vinyl 3LP Box Set from Impex: Features All-Tube Mastering by Bernie Grundman from the Analog Tapes and Custom-Made Wood Box Packaging
With her 2001 masterwork The Well, Jennifer Warnes delivered a remarkable collection of songs that call on many styles including rhythm and blues, folk, country, and jazz. From the country blues of "It's Raining" to the Irish air of "Too Late Love Comes," Jennifer chose a diverse mixture of tunes that reflect her vast musical interests and offer up a rich musical tapestry.
Produced by Jennifer Warnes and composer/producer Martin Davich (ER), this largely acoustic album freely explores folk, pop, roots, blues and jazz. The singer has collected stellar musical talent to flesh out her vision, including; Arlo Guthrie, Doyle Bramhall (along with his son Doyle II), Rick Cunha, Vinnie Colaiuta, Dean Parks, Blondie Chaplin, George Doering, Leland Sklar, Abraham Laboriel, Lenny Castro, Van Dyke Parks and many others. On the technical side, the brilliant sound of The Well was crafted by Mark Johnson, Frank Wolf, George Massenburg, Elliot Scheiner, John Cevetello, Paul Deiter and Mark Cross.
Supervised by the artist herself and mastered by Bernie Grundman Mastering from Jennifer's analog master tapes, this 180g 45rpm vinyl 3LP box set is the ultimate expression of The Well. Includes the bonus tracks from Impex Records' Gold CD version plus an amazing new recording of Bob Dylan's "Born In Time" that marks a graceful coda to Warnes' examination of love and loss in uncertain times and places. Spread across six sides, and packaged in a wood box with large-format booklet, personal notes by the artist, and a deluxe insert. Limited to 6,000 copies.
"The reissue from Impex Records is a model for the premium LP industry. Its three-disc 45 rpm 180-gram pressings are presented in an individually numbered wood box with a twelve-page, large format booklet that includes notes and lyrics. Bernie Grundman presided over the all-tube remastering. Sonically this is about as good as it gets from a studio-bred multitrack - fabulous acoustic textures, deep bass, and awesome ambience. A vinyl-lover's dream come true."
- Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound
"A dynamic recording, the vinyl provides an appreciably low, powerful bass with detailed upper frequencies. Easily the best recording of the album out there."
