Various: Hallelujah (The Songs Of Leonard Cohen) version on CD in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company Ace on 19. April 2019.
Product Information - This new edition of Ace Records' long-running and highly acclaimed Songwriters series features hand-selected recordings of songs by Canadian poet Leonard Cohen, including two songs never recorded by the great man himself. - "I've never been over the pleasure of having someone cover one of my songs. I have no sense of ownership, which probably stems from growing up as a folk singer, where it was understood that songs acquired a patina through interpretation. I feel like that's a mark of excellence," Cohen once said.Here's your chance to experience that excellence through 18 eclectic recordings of Cohen's songs by a variety of artists spanning five decades. You'll hear a version of "Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye" from 1967 performed by folk queen Judy Collins, the first-ever artist to record Cohen's song, while a charming rendition of "Famous Blue Raincoat" by Marissa Nadler dates from 2007. - The collection opens with Jeff Buckley's full album version of "Hallelujah," one of the most sublime pieces of music one could wish to hear, and closes with a radical reworking of "Avalanche" by Cohen disciple Nick Cave. Other highlights include a rendition of "Bird On A Wire" by K. D. Lang, Ron Sexsmith's "Heart With No Companion," Nina Simone's distinctive arrangement of "Suzanne," and a lively version of Rufus Wainwright's "Chelsea Hotel No. 2."- The enclosed 24-page booklet includes Cohen's biography by Ian Johnston and a detailed commentary on the songs by compiler Mick Patrick, which includes illuminating Cohen quotes on many of the songs.
Album can be classified in the genre Pop.
