The Well is the eighth studio album by Jennifer Warnes. It was released in 2001, Warnes’ first album in nine years. It includes her own compositions and covers renown songwriters Arlo Guthrie, Billy Joel, Allen Toussaint and Tom Waits. Guthrie lends guest vocals to his “Patriot’s Dream” while Doyle Bramhall I duets with Warnes on the classic Eddy Arnold song “You Don’t Know Me”. The album has been reissued over the years, first in 2003 in the Super Audio CD format, and then in 2009 with additional bonus tracks. The album saw its debut European release in 2016, when it was released by BMG records on March 4.
