The Well
24K GOLD CDIMP8302
Jennifer Warnes’ lovely 2001 release has been resequenced, remastered, and enhanced for its debut on gold CD. Fully authorized and supervised by the artist, Impex Records’ new 24K gold CD features two new songs, “La Luna Brilla” and “Fool For the Look (In Your Eyes)” plus a rare bonus track “Show Me the Light”, a duet featuring long time friend and legendary vocalist Bill Medley.
Remastered by Bernie Grundman using state-of-the-art hardware in his Hollywood mastering house, this new pressing is clearer and more full-bodied, with better presence and more defined bass–all without losing the natural character and dynamism of the original Cisco SACD release.
The Well has always been a lyrical meditation on the place and shape of our soul in a changing world and now it has changed its own shape and place, echoing the gracious flow of a life well lived.

KEN KESSLER, HI-FI NEWS, MAY 2012
One of the least prolific singers ever, Warnes’ astonishing career includes hits from Hollywood films, amazing duets, sales of over 35 million records, success in numerous genres, and at least two classic albums, of which this is one. Released in 2001, it’s only her eighth, and there’s been nothing since. But if this is her swan-song, wow! It’s just gorgeous in every way, from performance to recording, and the material is as all-embracing as one could want. I fell for her version of “You Don’t Know Me”, but the whole package is to die for, the lineup including songs by Billy Joel, Arlo Guthrie, Jesse Winchester, and Doyle Bramhall. If you love this CD, move quickly: the even better LP is a severely limited edition.
