Live Ledge #264: Leonard Cohen RIP
This obviously led me to make a few changes. Now the majority of the first hour is a tribute to the great songwriter. Besides a touching cover of "Save the Last Dance For Me" from one of his recent tours, I've included a number of my favorite Cohen covers. There's no "Hallelujah", however, as it's quite frankly the one song I never need to hear again. If I had played that track, it would have been Jeff Buckley's version, as nobody can touch his emotional vocals.
After the Cohen tribute, the show carries on with a good percentage of what I haad planned for last week, along with a few additional new releases such as the return of The Men. The Brooklyn-based band is back with a fury, and is bound to make my end of the year list of favorite albums.
