Various Artists, Here It Is: A Tribute To Leonard Cohen, 2022 on Blue Note

Wonderful compilation of covers in tribute to Leonard Cohen by a collection of artists, including:

• Norah Jones – Steer Your Way
• Peter Gabriel – Here It Is
• Gregory Porter – Suzanne
• Sarah McLachlan – Hallelujah
• Immanuel Wilkins – Avalanche
• Luciana Souza – Hey, That’s Now Way To Say Goodbye
• James Taylor – Coming Back To You
• Iggy Pop – You Want It Darker
• Mavis Staples – If It Be Your Will
• David Gray – Seems So Long Ago, Nancy
• Nathaniel Rateliff – Famous Blue Raincoat
• Bill Frisell – Bird On a Wire

It’s challenging, as Cohen songs (“Hallelujah” in particular) have been so heavily covered but I still think people manage to bring something new to these renditions – highly recommended.

My copy—direct from Blue Note—is the standard black vinyl 2xLP version, pressed at Optimal.
