180 Gram Vinyl! Featuring "Suzanne", "So Long, Marianne", "Sisters Of Mercy" & More!
A singer-songwriter more than equal of Bob Dylan in his use of language and his ability to tranlate the timeless themes of great literature into great music, Leonard Cohen parlayed unsurpassed lyrical skills and a distinctive disposition into a brilliant, if fitful, career.
Cohen's "Hallelujah" has reached the charts several times performed by various vocalists. Massive sold out concerts and well-known artists like Lou Reed, Bono, Nick Cave, Antony and Rufus Wainwright paying homage resulted in a huge re-appreciation which led to a whole new generation getting in touch with Cohen's impressive repertoire.
This album is the perfect anthology of this legend's career.
"Singing elegant, melancholic songs in a glamorously tattered voice, Leonard Cohen emerged from Montreal in the 1960s, an artist well into his thirties before he even made his first album. After a few records, he was royalty, on equal footing with Joni Mitchell, Randy Newman, and other top-notch singer-songwriters. His songs sound like sinful confidences shared over a bottle of blood-red wine; sadness is his strong suit, though sex is never far from his mind." - Rolling Stone
