Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man

This is the companion soundtrack to the Lian Lunsen film and features live performances taken from two performances of the Leonard Cohen tribute show Came So Far For Beauty – An Evening of Leonard Cohen Songs. One of these shows was recorded at the Sydney Opera House last year with an amazing lineup of highly regarded musicians, including a couple of Wainwright siblings, the McGarrigle sisters, Nick Cave, Antony, Teddy Thompson, Beth Orton…and the list goes on. Everyone provides their own powerful interpretations of classic Cohen songs – there’s an ominous rendition of ‘I’m Your Man’ by Nick Cave; ‘Tower Of Song’ features twice, book-ending the CD; Martha Wainwright’s voice soars on the opening track and then to close; and Leonard Cohen and U2 perform together. From reports of those who were lucky enough to attend the Sydney show, this was a truly special evening.
