WSJ 8/2/2013 Amanda Shires Tribute Song to LC

[mlsandy]

Today's WSJ featured an article on release of a new album by Amanda Shires. I was surprised to see a
tribute song to Leonard Cohen. You can stream the song for free at this link:

and I thought it quite good. Great tribute to a great artist. My wife and I are still enjoying memories of seeing Leonard in Memphis this Spring.

Thank you so much for this, mlsandy! I'm having trouble making out all the words, but I like those I was able to understand; and the arrangement has the feel of a 1950's love song... I love it! I like her voice a lot, too.

Glad for you and your wife that you two were able to see him in Memphis .

Ah, so that's why Amanda Isbell favorited a tweet of mine about LC in July. It all makes sense now.
