A Leonard Cohen Tribute Album Posted by Roy on Sunday, 03/27/2016 @ 20:41pm |
Is this a real album, or a fantasy one? Gotta say, borderline appalling. First off, no Leonard Cohen tribute album will be complete without "Hallelujah." Second, if you haven't heard the Neville Brothers' version of "Bird On A Wire" you are seriously missing out. The only thing missing from it is some bass vocals to fill out the vocal harmonies. Also, there needs to be a rendition of "Never Any Good" by Ringo. Leonard's version sounds like he wrote the song with Ringo in mind. Posted by Philip on Tuesday, 03/29/2016 @ 23:26pm |
Philip: Pretty sure it's just a custom-made list of potential songs and singers. A cursory search turns up two Cohen tribute albums (I'm Your Fan and Tower of Song) and the album for the movie "I'm Your Man". Posted by SotN on Wednesday, 03/30/2016 @ 01:11am |
The Leonard Cohen tribute albums are Famous Blue Raincoat (Jennifer Warnes), I'm Your Fan, Tower of Song, I'm You Man: The Soundtrack, and Cohen Covered (A MOJO Magazine CD). Posted by Roy on Wednesday, 03/30/2016 @ 07:22am |
First off, again, no Hallelujah. Not even close to my favorite Cohen song, but a tribute album without it doesn't even clear the first hurdle. Posted by Philip on Wednesday, 03/30/2016 @ 14:02pm |
"Closing Time" is not a comedy song. It's not. It's a bittersweet song with some reflection on life. Posted by Roy on Wednesday, 03/30/2016 @ 21:06pm |
"Nick Cave appears on the I'm Your Fan album (he sang Tower of Song with the Bad Seeds) and a couple of times on the soundtrack (once for I'm Your Man, and again on Suzanne), but he's the only artist on Roy's list who has ever actually done tribute covers of his music on an album."

Janet Jackson or someone needs to produce a remake of That's The Way Love Goes, featuring Leonard Cohen. Leonard Cohen and only Leonard Cohen should speak the following lines throughout the whole song: Posted by Roy on Wednesday, 03/30/2016 @ 21:40pm |

I only got into his music because of his nomination back in 2007 for the Class of 2008, but my love of his music and writing style just shot up with direct correlation to how much more I found of him. Such a singular talent. RIP Leonard Cohen Posted by Philip on Thursday, 11/10/2016 @ 22:48pm |

We shall see what happens on the Billboard 200 Albums chart next week. I'm Your Man (1988) and The Future (1992) did not chart in the U.S. when originally released. I think they will finally make it. Currently on iTunes USA, You Want It Darker is # 2, and The Essential Leonard Cohen is # 14. In iTunes Canada they are # 1 and # 2. All of his other albums are in the top 200 as well.
