Greetings, Wayne, welcome to the forum.

Songs of Leonard Cohen is his first album and contains the elements of his distinctive guitar style learned from a few lessons from a Spanish Flamenco guitarist whose suicide ended Leonard's instruction. John Hammond, who signed Leonard to Columbia Records, was the first producer, but when he had heart problems he was replaced by John Simon who added a few sparse instruments to some songs. John Simon also produced some of The Band's first albums.

I hope this helps.

Joe
