Title: Beautiful music, beautiful stories
Review: Thirty years this music has haunted, charmed and informed me, bringing the intelligent, moving poetry to a wider audience than the one found in smoky coffee shops. "The partisan" evokes memories of noble, desperate men, living by their wits, defending their homes, as simple, strong heroes when monstrous odds go against them. "Famous blue raincoat" has its own rich history, with Cohen at times confusing fans with bits and pieces of leads to explain the song. The possible interpretations are more than interesting to relish. "Chelsea hotel," "Bird on a wire," and the Top Forty hit. "Suzanne," make up part of a wonderful collection of moving, memorable melodies. Buy it, burn it to your iPod, keep the CD in your car. Enjoy.

Title: a truly great songwriter
Review: L. Cohen is a truly great songwriter and unfortunately not a great singer. This CD will help you appreciate his music but if you want to have a transendental experience find `Tower of Song, the songs of Leonard Cohen`. This CD is apperantly not available on Amazon. It is a compilation of his songs sung by other artists. The gem in it is Tori Amos singing `Famous blue raincoat`. I never knew so much emotion could be packed into 5 minutes. There are other great songs by P. Gabriel, T. Yearwood (don`t laugh she is good), J. Arden, S. Vega, Bono, Sting and a few lousy ones by A. Neville and W. Nelson. Please look for this CD.

Title: The Old Magic
Review: This is the CD that anyone who loved Cohen on cassette will have to buy. The cassette replaced the original which was bought and played as an LP.If something ever replaces the CD, I will probably buy it.As Cohen might sing somewhere, "Whoever said love was cheap?"

Title: Leonard Cohen
Review: Leonard is my favorite male singer and this is my favorite CD. It was a fair price and arrived quickly. My dad got me hooked on Leonard at a young age. I wanted an extra c: so I could have one for both cars. It is really good.

Title: If you have two account
Review: the amazon app will login with the second one with no access to just purchased songs. Be aware of that. In that way there is no way to download these songs to the comp and you just waste your time looking for the fix. Hope this helps.

Review: Save your money. Except for Suzann Leonard Cohen stinks. I don't see why he was ever popular.
