Leonard Cohen



I don't know a whole lot about Leonard Cohen, except that he's a man that deserves recognition and respect. I don't have much personal experience to write about, but I wanted to share some things that I've run across recently.

First thing is the trailer for I'm Your Man. I'm so excited to see this film, especially with the likes of Beth Orton, Rufus and Martha Wainwright!



Next is a link to an interview on NPR's Fresh Air, where they are talking with Leonard about his book of poems (Book of Longing) and his new album. Check out the interview here (Thanks Tim!). At the beginning of the piece, the mention a new album of his music done by his long-time backup singer Anjani . You can check the album "Blue Alert" on iTunes (Canada).

Finally, You can also check out an extensive list of Hallelujah covers over at My Old Kentucky Blog. One not listed there that I'll share is a live version of Rufus singing with Lucy Roach (Live @ Mountain Winery 8/24/2005):
