Leonard Cohen...

A great musician...

I once worked in South Montreal, and visited colleagues who lived in apartment buildings similar to Leonard Cohens, in Pointe Claire, ...I have great memories....Enjoy this track....

Leonard was brilliant, Admin

Reminds me a lot of me owd fave Tom Waits.

Must admit, I find Tom’s singing a difficult listen.

From discussions about his style online, people seem to agree it’s an affectation.

It’s all subjective, but I much prefer Leonard’s singing as I like it and it seems more authentic to me.

It changed a lot over the years - with a chunk in the middle where it just went too wierd for me. Everything up to and including Raindogs is where I tend to listen.

Check out his earlier stuff... this is from his first album in 1973
