I like Leonard Cohen since I first heard him in the '70s. I think I could not grasp how timeless is the music of Cohen then. Even the hated me English teacher who outed himself unbidden repeatedly as Cohen fan, could not change the fact that I held this exceptional artist loyalty. So may be a lot of old songs simply, only accompanied by the guitar, so they have little need to forfeit some of poetry over the decades. This voice has no equal. The compilation of this box is worth every penny, it's a gift. As you can already tune in to the new album, which will be released in late January after a long absence with new material.
