Hit: 3 Stars
ok, some love this and other hate it. fair enough. i personally quite liked the don henley version of 'everybody knows'. bono on 'halelujah' sounded as if his trousers were hitched up too high and too tight. and willie nelson's 'bird on a wire' could have been a nashille chestnut like 'she'll have to go'.
cohen can write. at least there doesnt seem to be any doubt about that. and perhaps he does have an honest voice. maybe robert frost had an honest voice too. never heard him sing.

Tower of Song: The Songs of Leonard Cohen Poster
If ever an artist deserved the tribute-album treatment, it's Leonard Cohen, an intermittently fascinating songwriter but perhaps the worst singer to ever release more than one major-label album. Cohen has never written a song which couldn't be improved by someone else singing it, and it's no coincidence that he's been the subject of three tribute albums. The latest is Tower of Song, which turns Cohen's work over to such middle-brow pop stars as Don Henley, Billy Joel, and Suzanne Vega. The results from this new project are mixed. Melodramatic, angst-ridden vocals by Tori Amos ("Famous Blue Raincoat") and Peter Gabriel ("Suzanne") emphasize Cohen's narcissism and purple poetry. On the other hand, Elton John delivers a delightfully campy, irreverent reading of "I'm Your Man," and Sting joins the Chieftains for a nicely understated, Celtic-folk arrangement of "Sisters of Mercy." --Geoffrey HimesAlternative Rock Music CDs
