album of the day: The Songs of Leonard Cohen
Artist: Leonard Cohen
Album: Songs of Leonard Cohen
I spent some time yesterday with this classic Leonard Cohen record. Spent some time with is the best way to describe this record. This is a collection of songs that you need to allow yourself to get lost in. The mixture of melody, lyrics and a voice create images and characters with a depth that few artists achieve. It’s incredible to think that this was a debut record.
Tracks to listen to:
So Long, Marianne
The Stranger Song
Suzanne
Songs of Leonard Cohen is available on Yahoo! Music Unlimited.

Songs of Leonard Cohen may be my favorite of Cohen’s album. As it turns out, his first three albums, including Songs of Leonard Cohen, are being reissued April 24th 2007 with remastered tracks, new liner notes, and a few new, previously unreleased songs. I posted some details previously at Leonard Cohen and Anjani Albums Reissued
