“The Fountain” is the title of this Jennifer Warnes album from 2001. It had been nine years since “The Hunter” and Mrs. Warnes was unhappy with her record company and decided to produce an album on her own account that she had had in mind for a long time. It shouldn’t be about catchy pop melodies, but about calmer and more emotional songs that tell little stories from life and carries the profound images of these songs with enormous composure.
This reissue of the album contains three tracks not previously included. Tracks five and six were recorded with the full album but were not originally released. The last track is a duet with Bill Medley, with whom Jennifer Warnes sang the world hit “I’ve Had the Time of My Life” from the film Dirty Dancing. The song is not musically related to this album, but Jennifer Warnes was keen to see it on this release as there is always a certain magic implied about her duets.
