Day 0229 - Songs of Love and Hate

Leonard Cohen "Songs of Love and Hate" (1971) - got it


The usually ice cool murmur of Leonard Cohen actually starts to sound quite raw, desperate and spiteful here... I like it (editor's note: I liked it so much, I bought a copy)!  Cohen's ragged voice backed with the female backing vocals is quite effective here.

The fact that this album was an early influence on Nick Cave (who is a favourite of mine) certainly doesn't hurt.
