Essential Leonard Cohen album Product Description
Essential Leonard Cohen album by Leonard Cohen was released Oct 22, 2002 on the Sony Music label. Recorded between 1967 & 2001. Essential Leonard Cohen songs Includes liner notes by Pico Iyer. THE ESSENTIAL LEONARD COHEN manages the considerable task of documenting the career of a man many consider one of the finest songwriters in the English language. Essential Leonard Cohen album Easily on par with Bob Dylan and Paul Simon in terms of sheer poetic power, Canadian troubadour Cohen started out, appropriately enough, as a prose poet before beginning a recording career in the late 1960s. Essential Leonard Cohen CD music His early albums, amply represented here, found him accompanied chiefly by his own nylon-string guitar, delivering dark, but often romantic, reveries atop folk-based song structures. Essential Leonard Cohen music CDs By the late '70s, Cohen's lyrics and musical settings had both grown more expansive, as is made plain here by judiciously chosen tracks from that period. In the late '80s, at an age when many of his contemporaries had long since retired, Cohen experienced a rebirth via the sardonic songs and spare, electronics-laced backing of I'M YOUR MAN, which gets the most space on this collection. Essential Leonard Cohen CD music is a 2-disc set with 31 songs. ...See Full Description

| If you like Cohen, this is THE one CD to buy This set of two cds contains Leonard Cohen's milestone recordings. The best compilation I saw so far. Not only I will keep the copy I have but I plan to get a few more to have as gifts for my friends. Highly recommended. Peter By a reviewer (South Bend, IN, USA)  |
| Brilliant! I; see; jj; from Massena; is awfully; fond; of semi-colons. However, I am not here to point out the disgraceful punctuation of blatantly stupid people, but review the Essential Cohen. This 2-disk set was a beautiful sample of Cohen's work. It gave a wonderful variety of songs suitable for any old time fan or any new listeners. I highly recommend it! By Sylwia (Prince Albert, SK, Canada) |
| Best collection (especially for newbies) First of all, the reviewer from Austin, Texas has no idea what he is talking about. :) Just kidding! No, I`m not. This is a wonderful culling of Leonard`s musical career. We all have our favourites, but this would probably be very close to a "perfect" selection of tunes that show you why this guy matters. If you ever get a chance to see the Austin City Limits show on LC.. Do so. Brilliant doesn`t quite cover it. In the meantime, buy this. If you don`t like it..pass it on to someone with taste. :) By a reviewer (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) |
| horrible! one of the worst things i have ever heard;it drones on,at first boring;then,it becomes irritating.i played both cd's twice;it was just as bad the second time;wasted money on this one,for sure.on par with Dylan?yeah,right.the writing is ordinary,the singing isn't even singing,it's narrating;if this is his best,i won't have to waste time on any of his other stuff,huh?how dare anyone compare him with bob dylan... By jj (massena,ny)  |
| Essential Cohen Essential? Yes. Nothing new but covers his song writing years in one collection. I regret the exclusion of a couple of personal favourites but the two CDs will not disappoint even if most of his albums are already in your collection.
