Leonard Cohen (1934-2016) was a Canadian poet, novelist and musician whose career spanned several decades and whose influence reaches far beyond folk music. Before turning fully to music, he had already made a name for himself as a writer, and this literary background shaped his highly crafted, metaphor-rich songwriting. Over the years he released numerous acclaimed albums and became known for classics like "Hallelujah," "Bird on the Wire" and "Famous Blue Raincoat." His work has been celebrated worldwide, earning him prestigious honors, a devoted international fan base and countless cover versions by other major artists. "Songs Of Leonard Cohen" marks the powerful starting point of this extraordinary musical journey.
