In the interviews, cut into the film, Cohen expressed very positive about the interpretations of Rufus and Martha Wainwright, both singer-songwriters that their parents (Kate McGarrigle - Loudon Wainwright III), popularity may now outperform. Julie Christensen and Perla Batalla were Cohen's background singers on numerous tour performances (Cohen Live - Leonard Cohen in Concert, 1994). Cohen was also the animated Perla Batalla to solo recordings. Teddy Thompson, son of folk singer Richard and Linda Thompson, one of the promising young singer-songwriter is to hear, among other things with Rufus Wainwright in the soundtrack of "Brokeback Mountain" and has also released two solo albums. Antony, the "If It Be Your Will" interpreted quite outstanding is promoted with its CD "I am a bird now" the big star. Nick Cave and Bono and Edge of U2 login as "old fans" from Leonard Cohen to speak.
My favorite tracks are "Tower of Song" sung by Martha Wainwright, "If It Be Your Will" by Antony (amazing!) And "Anthem" by Perla Batalla and Julie Christensen. The interpretations of Rufus Wainwright, Jarvis Cocker and Teddy Thompson (especially "The Future") I think is excellent. It is especially nice, of course, to hear Cohen himself again (in the film is also enjoying his speaking voice and expression as well as the slight self-irony with which he looks back to the past).
