Leonard Cohen is our Artist of the Month

May 4, 2015

Leonard Cohen has sold over 23 million albums worldwide and published 12 books.

His new album ‘Can’t Forget: A Souvenir of the Grand Tour’ (released May 11) is a stunning collection of songs which will give you an extremely special glimpse into Cohen’s intimate rehearsal process, widely known to be in-depth ‘concerts before the concert!,’ heard by fans for the first time with this new record.

The album consists of Leonard Cohen rarities recorded on his recent Old Ideas tour and features two new original Leonard Cohen songs, ‘Never Gave Nobody Trouble’ and ‘Got a Little Secret’, plus two covers never recorded by Cohen; George Jones’ ‘Choices’ and ‘La Manic’ originally by Georges Dor. You can preorder it now on Amazon
