2008 - Autumn

Cohen is a major figure, whether you like him or not. He's a poet first and foremost, and his work just seems to get under your skin -- if you let it. The Manchester gig was one of the best concerts of my life. Fortunately I have the entire thing on CD. Listening to him, I was struck by what a great wordsmith he is, and what a sense of humour he has -- something he isn't often credited with. Hearing him sing Famous Blue Raincoat, live, was one of my own ambitions checked off.

If you want to listen to him again, I would definitely head for his first two classic albums: Songs of Leonard Cohen, and Songs From a Room. His words are glorious, but he's more than that. He creates dark moods, but there are things in there that many of us will recoginse in ourselves.
