Threads and Tangents 9/17/24 - Leonard Cohen covered

In celebration of what would have been Leonard Cohen’s 90th birthday, we’ll hear an hour of his music, but sung by others. A singer, songwriter, novelist, and poet, Leonard Cohen, was an influential figure. Cohen built his name as a writer in the mid-50s and in the ’60s he decided to give up his life as an established novelist and poet in Canada for a shot at the burgeoning folk scene in New York.

We'll hear: Leonard Cohen, Tori Amos, Nina Simone, Jeff Buckley, Richard Thompson, Madeleine Peyroux, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Lenny Kaye, Aimee Mann, Lloyd Cole, Amy Helm, and Shovels & Rope (featuring John Fullbright).
