Cohen: A Live Celebration of Leonard Cohen [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'Legendary singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen died on November 7, 2016, one day before the 2016 Presidential Election, but the world didn't find out for several days after. On January 24, 2017 (shortly after the inauguration of Donald Trump and the succeeding Women's March on Washington), New York City finally paid tribute to the Poet Prince of Montréal with a concert featuring dozens of singers, songwriters and musicians, including Richard Thompson, Josh Ritter, Will Sheff (Okkervil River), Amy Helm, Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith Group), Elvis Perkins, Holly Miranda, Joan As Police Woman, Delicate Steve, and many more. It was an evening the Village Voice called 'a loving, thoughtful tribute to Cohen's life in music and poetry.' The subsequent live album resulting from those performances, entitled, 'Sincerely, L. Cohen: A Live Celebration Of Leonard Cohen, features highlights from this nearly three-hour marathon concert, which the Voice also hailed as a 'carefully constructed, expertly structured production.' \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe concert and subsequent album was produced by Cohen fans Jesse Lauter (Tedeschi Trucks Band), Hannah Gold (City Winery Presents), and Josh Kaufman. Kaufman (Guitar- Bob Weir) led the house band, which featured first-rate New York-based musicians including Ray Rizzo (Drums-Yo Yo Ma), Walt Martin (Keys-The Walkmen), Annie Nero (Bass-Craig Finn), Stuart Bogie (Brass \u0026amp; Woodwinds-Arcade Fire, Superhuman Happiness), Nick Kinsey (Percussion-Kevin Morby), and Dave Harrington (Guitar-Darkside), punctuated by a backing vocal trio that Cohen would have been proud of: Leslie Mendelson, Jocie Adams and Cassandra Jenkins. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the liner notes to this collection, music critic Justin Joffe writes, 'Sincerely, L. Cohen: A Live Celebration of Leonard Cohen could have been a solemn affair. But all performers took the celebration part to heart, infusing Cohen's most somber truths with equal parts reverence and reverie. The evening found a mix of New York icons, esteemed singer-songwriters, cult performers, and up-and-comers for a night of Cohen standards, stories and deep cuts.' Joffe continues, ''Sentimental and scholarly, full of tearful singalongs and heartfelt remembrance, it was an evening Cohen would have appreciated.''\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelicate Steve: \"Hallelujah\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeslie Mendelson: \"Sisters of Mercy\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOsei Essed: \"Diamonds in the Mine\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolly Miranda \/ Joan As Police Woman ; Invisible Familiars: \"I'm Your Man\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJosh Ritter: \"Chelsea Hotel #2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmy Helm: \"Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElvis Perkins: \"Is This What You Wanted\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichard Thompson: \"Bird on the Wire\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichard Thompson: \"Story of Isaac\" 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLenny Kaye: \"Beautiful Losers\" 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIan O'Neil: \"Memories\" 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCassandra Jenkins: \"In My Secret Life\" 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeddy Thompson: \"Ballad of the Absent Mare\" 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlana Amram: \"Suzanne\" 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLee Ranaldo: \"Famous Blue Raincoat\" 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWill Sheff ; Friends: \"So Long, Marianne\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"4","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50571259740456,"sku":"02028622495","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3739504.jpg?v=1763989342","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/various-tribute-cohen-leonard-sincerely-l-cohe-lp-02028622495","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
