That was an interesting share. I don't know what it is about that song that keeps me coming back.
My taste is somewhat eclectic so the only thing of him I knew ( and liked ) was 'Everybody knows' ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gxd23UVID7k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gxd23UVID7k ).
Incidentally, why is WP writing about him now?

- bch 5y agoIf you want to enjoy his work with pop-sensibility in the delivery I recommend checking out “I’m Your Fan”[0], where you can enjoy heavy weights like R.E.M. and The Pixies and a bunch of other really excellent bands interpreting Cohens really excellent songs.

- dhosek 5y agoI have a ridiculously completist collection of Cohen-related material (although far from complete). Another roughly contemporaneous tribute album is Tower of Song. It's not as good, perhaps because it features more mainstream artists (I go to I'm Your Fan a lot more than Tower of Song), although Don Henley's version of "Everybody Knows" is a great version of that song.
- touisteur 5y agoDid you mean I'm Your Man? I discovered 'A Thousand Kisses Deep' some years ago through a Jackson Browne cover and it felt so strange to rediscover Cohen, when I'd stopped at the classics.
