Anybody else into Leonard Cohen?


Recommended Posts

Leonard Cohen, like Tom Waits, is good in small doses. Anything more than a handful of consecutive tracks and it gets a bit dull.

I agree about Leonard Cohen, but disagree about Tom Waits.

Waits has a much more varied catalog...so I can listen to him for hours and hours and it's always a revolving level of mad genius.

Cohen's definitely great to listen to, but I fucking love Gregory Alan Isakov's cover of "One of Us Cannot Be Wrong"....Also, when I saw Isakov back in March/April, he covered Cohen's "Chelsea Hotel No. 2" which was amazing.

...and if you like/will like Isakov, the song "That Sea, The Gambler" is probably one of my favorite songs in the world.

Couldn't agree with you more. Especially with Tom's stuff from the 70s. And his stories never, ever get old. I like Cohen, but I could easily tire of him after about 20-30 minutes of playing.
