Thanks Jarkko for the info!

After listening to only a couple of clips i decided i have to get this cd.

For anyone else interested, there is an email link for Anne Simons you need to click to order. She has been really easy to deal with. As of right this morning, the CD's cost was not listed (they are working on getting it put on the site).
It is $20.oo plus shipping costs to your area.

regards,

That Famous Blue Raincoat sounds like a keeper.

I received this CD on Saturday.

It is sublime.

There is an interpretive drama that this Cd's musicians and the phenomenal singer does to Cohen's music and words that puts it at the top of my 'covers' list.

Those involved in the making of this cd and Leonard himself should be very proud of the result.

You should get this cd!! 8)
