There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in

Wow indeed!! Happens To The Heart really sounds like classic Cohen .

If the rest of the album is anywhere near as good Adam deserves a medal! Fair play to you man this is great!!

This is great news, fair play to Adam for undertaking such an endeavour. However much talent and experience he has it must be a huge burden / challenge for him given the circumstances, good luck to the guy I say, look forward to hearing what come out! Anything is better than nothing, is hardly going...

Funny (in a very unfunny way) how life can follow art sometimes. I thought of those lines too.

I must say the CD sounds a lot richer and more 'alive' than original stream. I'm no audio sonic snob by any means but the CD does sound a lot more vibrant with splashes of colour that the stream didn't have for me.

Then comes a really important passage “I’m sorry for the ghost I made you be.

Thanks Lightning

Ms. Simmons also tweeted at one point that after 4 plays she was upgrading her one word review of the album from "great" to "magnificent".

I noticed a 5 star review in this months Mojo for anyone interested who's in the UK, didn't contain a huge amount of new information but was very positive about the album

As something of a 'lurker' here I just wanted to post thanks to all those that provided updates for the album that has had me salivating like an overexcited canine ever since I heard about it. Muchas gracias amigos
