WELCOME TO LPCDREISSUES
When legend Cohen takes to the stage, it's no less than a cultural event of Biblical dimensions. Following the celebration of his 40th year as a Columbia artist in 2007 and coinciding with his induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in March 2008, Cohen thrilled his fans by announcing his first tour dates in 15 years. One dozen of Leonard Cohen's most famous songs from those recent world tour performances - at auditorium halls, festivals, arenas, and stadiums - are now collected onSongs From The Road. Recorded in 5.1 surround soundSongs From The Roadis not only a tribute to Cohen's consummate artistry as a concert performer, it is also a tribute to his enduring worldwide popularity at this time in his career. It is ultimately Cohen's ageless songs that draw faithful audiences - new fans and old - to his sold-out concerts.
Songs From The Roadrepresents every decade of his life as a recording artist, from the 1960s (Suzanne from his 1967 debut,Songs Of Leonard Cohen; Bird on the Wire and his interpretation of The Partisan both from his second album, 1969'sSongs From a Room) - to the '00s (That Don't Make it Junk from 2001'sTen New Songs). And even though it shares some songs with the 2009Live In Londonrelease, the recordings on this album are unique. Throughout the tour, Cohen seemed to find at every stop the sisters of mercy whom he immortalized in one of his oldest and most tender songs.... And now, wherever this precious man wanders, the famous blue raincoat notwithstanding, people sing 'hallelujah!'
