Amazon.ca Already established as a poet and novelist by the time of his 1968 debut, Leonard Cohen also proved himself to be a remarkable songwriter, if an acquired taste as a singer. The slow, dirge-like pace of many of the pieces only serves to highlight the lyrics, and the literate words of "Suzanne," "Sisters of Mercy," "Master Song," and others have withstood critical scrutiny for three decades. Relationships, and their aftermath, are the preoccupations of a record that has justifiably achieved classic status and influenced any number of performers, from Nick Cave to Tom Waits. John Simon's orchestrations help frame the pieces with loving, mournful strings. In its era, when music was electric and vibrant, it sounded completely out of step. But the passage of years has proved that, more than anything, Songs of Leonard Cohen is timeless. --Chris Nickson
