The Courier Post review

From Dick:
Courier Post -- from Gannett 11/3
Leonard Cohen
Dear Heather () - At 70, Cohen still has one of the most distinctive voices
around, a lean bass growl that can be seductive, depressing or creepy,
sometimes all at once.
"Women have been exceptionally kind to my old age," he sings on the wry but
wistful "Because Of." Other songs nod to romantic ennui, social strife and
the writings of Lord Byron, all with Cohen's astutely literate,
unsentimental lyricism.
Like most Cohen fare, Heather will appeal most to those who like their pop
served with a dry twist.
