Description
Producer Larry Klein pays tribute to his friend Leonard Cohen with an album that presents stunning new renditions of the legendary singer-songwriter's compositions performed by an extraordinary line-up of vocalists. The guest artists are backed by what Klein calls "a group of the most prescient and forward-looking musicians in the jazz world." The album's 12 tracks offer a broad range of Cohen's songs drawn from his 1967 debut Songs of Leonard Cohen through his final album, You Want It Darker.

My initial thought when I saw the subject was, "Well, that took long enough, but do I really need another version of 'Hallelujah'?"

Then I saw it was Sarah McLachlan doing that song on this, and yeah, I probably do need one more.

Did you see Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song? I went in thinking I could do without hearing that song for a while, and went out with a new appreciation for it. And fortunately the movie is about a lot more than that song, so if you are a fan you are certain to enjoy it.

Not yet, but I'll be looking it up now. Thanks!
