From Wiki:
Quote:
Leonard Norman Cohen, CC GOQ (born 21 September 1934) is a Canadian singer-songwriter, musician, poet, and novelist. His work has explored religion, politics, isolation, sexuality, and personal relationships.[1] Cohen has been inducted into the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and both the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. He is also a Companion of the Order of Canada, the nation's highest civilian honour. In 2011, Cohen received a Prince of Asturias Award for literature.
The critic Bruce Eder assessed Cohen's overall career in popular music by asserting that "[he is] one of the most fascinating and enigmatic … singer/songwriters of the late '60s … [and] has retained an audience across four decades of music-making … Second only to Bob Dylan (and perhaps Paul Simon) [in terms of influence], he commands the attention of critics and younger musicians more firmly than any other musical figure from the 1960s who is still working at the outset of the 21st century."[2]
The Academy of American Poets has commented more broadly on Cohen's overall career in the arts, including his work as a poet, novelist, and songwriter, stating that "[Cohen's] successful blending of poetry, fiction, and music is made most clear in Stranger Music: Selected Poems and Songs, published in 1993, which gathered more than 200 of Cohen's poems … several novel excerpts, and almost 60 song lyrics … While it may seem to some that Leonard Cohen departed from the literary in pursuit of the musical, his fans continue to embrace him as a Renaissance man who straddles the elusive artistic borderlines."
Songs of Leonard Cohen 1967 (reissued 2007)
Songs of Leonard Cohen is the 1967 debut album of Canadian musician Leonard Cohen. It foreshadowed the future path of his career, with less success in the United States and far better in Europe, reaching #83 on the Billboard chart but achieving gold status only in 1989, while it reached #13 in UK and spent nearly a year and a half in the UK album charts.

Songs From A Room 1969 (reissued 2007)
Songs from a Room is the second album by Canadian musician Leonard Cohen, released in 1969. It reached #63 on the US Billboard 200 and #2 on the UK charts. Cohen reportedly said he chose producer Bob Johnston to achieve the spartan sound he considered appropriate for his songs, after the disputes he had with John Simon during the mixing sessions of Songs of Leonard Cohen. The album also features some prominent (if strictly ornamental) jaw harp. This project was first begun in Hollywood in May, 1968 with David Crosby as producer.[1] That didn't work out, and the album was eventually produced in Nashville with Bob Johnston. Two of the tracks from the Crosby sessions are included as bonus tracks on the 2007 remaster version.

"Sing Another Song, Boys" was recorded at the Isle of Wight Festival on August 30, 1970. Further recording took place at Trident Studios in London.

New Skin for the Old Ceremony 1974
New Skin for the Old Ceremony is the fourth studio album by Leonard Cohen. On this album, he begins to evolve away from the rawer sound of his earlier albums, with violas, mandolins, banjos, guitars, percussion and other instruments giving the album a more orchestrated (but nevertheless spare) sound. The album is silver in the UK, but never dented the Billboard Top 200.

Death Of A Ladies Man 1977
Death of a Ladies' Man is the fifth studio album by Leonard Cohen. Produced and co-written by the storied Phil Spector, it was a surprise to some fans when the voice of typically minimalist Cohen was surrounded, some critics said submerged completely, by Spector's Wall of Sound, which included multiple tracks of instrument overdubs. The album was originally released by Warner Bros., but was later picked up by Cohen's longtime label, Columbia Records. Fifteen songs were written by the two over a course of three weeks, and Spector described it as "some great fuckin' music". Not everyone agreed with this assessment, preferring Cohen's earlier acoustic folk music to the jazz-, rock- and even funk-influenced arrangements. Among the seven unknown outtakes is probably "Do I Have to Dance All Night". A live recording was released in France as a single in 1976. Bob Dylan and Allen Ginsberg sang backup vocals on the chorus of "Don't Go Home with Your Hard-on".
Tracks:
1. "True Love Leaves No Traces" – 4:26
2. "Iodine" – 5:03
3. "Paper Thin Hotel" – 5:42
4. "Memories" – 5:59
5. "I Left a Woman Waiting" – 3:28
6. "Don't Go Home with Your Hard-On" – 5:36
7. "Fingerprints" – 2:58
8. "Death of a Ladies' Man" – 9:19
Recent Songs 1979
Recent Songs is the sixth studio album by Leonard Cohen, released in 1979. Produced by Leonard Cohen and Henry Lewy, it was a return to Cohen's acoustic folk music after the Phil Spector experimentation of Death of a Ladies' Man, but now with many jazz and Oriental influences. The album included Gypsy violin player Raffi Hakopian, Armenian oud player (located in Los Angeles) John Bilezikjian and even a Mexican Mariachi band. Long-time Cohen collaborator Jennifer Warnes prominently appeared in vocal tracks. Members of the band Passenger, whom Cohen met through Joni Mitchell, played on four of the songs. They also served as his tour band later that year and in 1980. Mitchell had also introduced Cohen to her regular sound engineer Henry Lewy, who produced Recent Songs. Garth Hudson of The Band also appeared on the album. The painting of Cohen on the album cover is by the artist Dianne Lawrence.
Tracks:
1. "The Guests" - 6:40
2. "Humbled in Love" - 5:15
3. "The Window" - 5:56

10. "Ballad of the Absent Mare" - 6:26
Various Positions 1984
Various Positions is the seventh studio album by Leonard Cohen, released in December 1984 (and February 1985). It marked not only his turn to the modern sound and use of synthesizers (particularly on the opening track), but also, after his work on harmonies and backing vocals on the previous Recent Songs (1979), an even greater contribution from Jennifer Warnes, who is credited equally to Cohen as vocalist on all of the tracks.

1. "Dance Me to the End of Love" - 4:38
2. "Coming Back to You" - 3:32
3. "The Law" - 4:27

8. "Heart with No Companion" - 3:04
9. "If It Be Your Will" - 3:43
I'm Your Man 1988
I'm Your Man is the eighth studio album by Leonard Cohen,[4] released in 1988. The album marked Cohen's further move to a more modern sound, with many songs having a synthpop production. "First We Take Manhattan" had been released the previous year by Jennifer Warnes on her album of Cohen songs, Famous Blue Raincoat. The song "Everybody Knows" was one of Cohen's first writing collaborations with Sharon Robinson, who would become a frequent collaborator in the future. Most notably, Robinson co-wrote every song on Cohen's 2001 outing Ten New Songs. In "Tower of Song", Cohen discusses songwriting and acknowledges the influence of Hank Williams ("a hundred floors above me").

1. "First We Take Manhattan"
2. "Ain't No Cure for Love"
3. "Everybody Knows" (Cohen, Sharon Robinson)

The actress Rebecca De Mornay, who dated Cohen in the early 1990s, was credited as a co-producer of the album along with Cohen himself. The album includes Cohen's covers of the Irving Berlin song "Always" and the Frederick Knight song "Be For Real." The Future is also the only Leonard Cohen studio album to include an instrumental Cohen composition ("Tacoma Trailer").

Ten New Songs 2001
Ten New Songs is Leonard Cohen's tenth studio album, released in 2001. It was co-written and produced by Sharon Robinson. She played all the instruments except for Bob Metzger's guitar work on "In My Secret Life". The album peaked at #143 on the Billboard 200, #4 in Canada (where it went platinum), #1 in Poland[6] (where it went platinum [7]) and #1 in Norway. Ten New Songs was the first Cohen album to be recorded and produced digitally. It was produced in Cohen's and Robinson's home studios in Los Angeles.

10. "The Land of Plenty" – 4:35
Dear Heather 2004
Dear Heather is the eleventh studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, released by Columbia Records in 2004. It shows a further departure from Ten New Songs, with more female lead singing and a marked increase in read poetry over sung lyrics, two of these being poems by other writers. The album was set to appear under the title Old Ideas, but Cohen changed the title as he was assured it would mislead people to believe that it was a compilation or a "The Best of" album. The scrapped name is now the name of Cohen's twelfth album that was released in 2012. Again, Cohen recorded it digitally in his and Sharon Robinson's home studios in Los Angeles, as he did with his previous album, Ten New Songs.

1. "Go No More A-Roving" (words by Lord Byron, poem "So, we'll go no more a roving") – 3:40

Old Ideas 2012
Old Ideas is the twelfth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, released in January 2012. It is Cohen's highest-charting release in the United States, reaching number 3 on the Billboard 200, 44 years after the release of his first album. The album topped the charts in 11 countries, including Finland, where Cohen became, at the age of 77, the oldest chart-topper, during the album's debut week.[20][21] The album was released on January 27, 2012 in some countries and on January 31, 2012 in the U.S.[22] It had been streamed online by NPR on January 22[23] and on January 23 by The Guardian.
The album received uniformly positive reviews from publications including Rolling Stone,[25] the Chicago Tribune,[26] and The Guardian.[27] At a record release party for the album in January 2012, Cohen spoke with The New York Times reporter Jon Pareles who states that "mortality was very much on his mind and in his songs [on this album]." Pareles goes on to characterize the album as "an autumnal album, musing on memories and final reckonings, but it also has a gleam in its eye. It grapples once again with topics Mr. Cohen has pondered throughout his career: love, desire, faith, betrayal, redemption. Some of the diction is biblical; some is drily sardonic."[28]
The album was named as a nominee for the 2012 Polaris Music Prize on June 14, 2012.[29] The album was listed at #13 on Rolling Stone's list of the top 50 albums of 2012, saying "Cohen adapts to this uncharted age with a lifetime's worth of grace and wit." [30] The Rolling Stone's also named the song Going Home the 20th best song of 2012.
Tracks:
1. "Going Home"
2. "Amen"
3. "Show Me the Place"
4. "Darkness"
5. "Anyhow"
6. "Crazy to Love You"
7. "Come Healing"
8. "Banjo"
9. "Lullaby"
10. "Different Sides"
Enjoy Leonard Cohen :)
