 First We Take Manhattan Ain't No Cure for Love Everybody Knows | I'm Your Man Take This Waltz Jazz Police | I Can't Forget Tower of Song |
| Professional Review: |
| Even the production, laden with synthesized strings and cooing female choruses, is wry on I'm Your Man, a definitive Leonard Cohen album. Though still touched with the tragic ("Take This Waltz," based on a Garcia Lorca poem), the album often achieves its high points by combining Cohen's world-weariness with black-humored evocations of social and romantic ills and artistic quandaries. "I was born like this, I had no choice," the gravelly Cohen intimates at disc's end. "I was born with the gift of a golden voice." --Rickey Wright |

 Written on March 9, 2007 Summary: Ain't no cure for love ! I first heard Leonard Cohen's song in movie " Love at Large ". Loved it. Went on line to find out about him and listen to a few clips of his songs. Bought " I'm your man " and have introduced it to friends and Family. Written on October 22, 2006 Summary: LORCA & MORE This 1988 work which followed 1984's Various Positions, is very much a pop album in tune and sound. Lyrically it has moments of profundity as in all of Cohen's work but there is a lighter touch. Although keyboards are prominent, John Bilezikjian & Raffi Hakopian whose inputs made Recent Songs so special, respectively embellish Everybody Knows and Take This Waltz. Jazz Police & Everybody Knows were co-written by others while Take This Waltz is based on the Lorca poem Little Viennese Waltz. On every track Leonard's voice is supported by either Anjani Thomas or Jennifer Warnes, and by both on Ain't No Cure For Love. It is worth noting that First We Take Manhattan lacks the dramatic German newscast intro of the Jennifer Warnes interpretation on Famous Blue Raincoat. The sing-along melody of Ain't No Cure For Love contrasts strikingly with Cohen's biblical imagery and references like: "It's written in the scriptures, it's written there in blood ..." And his version of Everybody Knows is still the best compared to all the covers, mainly due to the `oud' (oriental lute) of John Bilezikjian which adds a special dimension to the sound. The song was co-written by Sharon Robinson who later collaborated with Cohen on Ten New Songs. Based on Federico Garcia Lorca's Pequeño Vals Vienés, the elegant Take This Waltz has an undulating mid-tempo arrangement that brings 1920s Vienna to life in striking imagery. It's an extraordinary tapestry of nature symbols tied to oblique expressions of yearning, ecstasy and sadness, e.g. "a garland of freshly cut tears." The tone is enhanced by Raffi Hakopian's violin and the voice of Jennifer Warnes. Tower of Song has been interpreted by artists as diverse as Marianne Faithfull and Nick Cave and lent its title to a disappointing 1995 tribute album. The experimental track Jazz Police with its jerky arrangement, semi-spoken vocal and absurd lyrics is not one of LC's lyrical or musical masterpieces but it does display some impressive instrumental flourishes. Judging by the many cover versions, these songs are popular under musicians; two are covered on Famous Blue Raincoat, five on I'm Your Fan, three on Tower of Song and five on the soundtrack album Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man. Although this one is not amongst my top personal favorite works by the Canadian poet & singer, it definitely deserves five stars for the quality of the compositions. Written on September 12, 2006 Summary: Stunning I hate to steal from a previous reviewer, but "stunning" is the only word to describe this album. I will let the other "5-star" reviews speak for me; I can't improve on them. Written on August 19, 2006 Summary: Smokey, sexy, and sensuous I love this man's voice. He can really send me places where I want to go. I am very happy that I bought this cd at the recommendation of a friend. I use this smokey, sexy, voiced gentleman to put me to bed every night.. Written on June 14, 2006 Summary: i'll steer for you send your old lover outside with the title track in an ipod, she'll think about you all night. |
