Leonard Cohen

More Best Of

Columbia

It has been a provocative 30 years since Cohen first gave birth to the modern song. With this in mind, Columbia has given us this labor of love, More Best Of. This introspective plays out favorites from the past two decades and shares the first steps of two new creations.

The reprises are not merely songs, but tales with names, faces and passion of life. The commonplace has no rest here. What you’ll find is “I’m Your Man,” “Tower of Song,” “Everybody Knows” and others in perfect light, killing you softly. Leonard Cohen will add some class to your chaotic collection. His knack for illustrious songwriting is so overwhelming that the rest of this paragraph has just fallen from this page.
