That's how the light gets in by Susan Rako, M.D. Fans of Cohen's will recognize There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in Rako, a comtemporary of Cohen, has given is a fascinating and remarkably candid look into her life and times. That's how the light gets in is wonderfully well-written and a great read. The writing just flows.

Leonard Cohen, the most ubiquitously great singer-songwriter of the past fifty years years (in my opinion), is hard to accuse as having a dilettante collection of songs with his best hits collection. The sheer greatness of his work, though, can never be abhorred by anybody. As most people could not several wonderful songs are missing from the CD including "If It Be Your Will," "First We Take Manhattan" and, "The Window" and sparing several others. The main thrust of his songs never cease to impress, though. For instance, from the first song, he had detailed the declining power of America with such crises as Vietnam, Reaganomics, Watergate, AIDS, Cocaine epidemic, just to name a few in "Everybody Knows." Leonard Cohen never was one to shy away from topics, including the Apocylatic "Future," as we are seeing the vision coming true. He is up to his naughty self in the previously unreleased "Never Any Good," where he includes the typical Cohenian lyric..."I am sorry for my crimes against the moonlight." The fire still burns, even after 70. LC is proof of that.

I have enjoyed cohens music for many years. He is always intelligent and the portrait he paints with his lyrics is always full of color and texture. This CD has some of his best work. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would.

I liked the album upon first hearing it. There is much in his songs that relate to a person who has lived and loved a while. Any man having a deep voice should learn a few Leonard Cohen songs to entertain his favorite lady. I played them over and over on my MP3 player to learn my favorites.

This second compilation covers Leonard Cohen's career from 1984 to 1995 skipping over both Death of a Ladies' Man, which is understandable, and Recent Songs, which is more questionable. Cohen did not have any hits during this period, though a few songs, notably "Everybody Knows" and "Tower of Song," became well enough known to be essential choices. Otherwise, Cohen's craftsmanship makes a choice from among his work difficult. This set chooses four of the eight songs from the celebrated I'm Your Man album and more might have been included and four from its less successful follow-up, The Future. One track, "Dance Me to the End of Love," comes from Various Positions, with...
