On heavy rotation…

Wow. Wow. Wow.

An *absolute masterpiece*, on heavy rotation since some weeks! Surely one of my preferred CD since years!

First, I have to say that I am a total-fan of Leonard Cohen since 15 years. His texts are extremely interesting, a real poet. This, on top of this very particular, original and timeless musical compositions… Just too much :-)

And, on top on top, there is his absolutely fantastic deep voice.

And, on top on top on top, when I have seen that the musical director and bass player of this tour is Roscoe Beck, that was again … just too much. Roscoe Beck is a great musician and bass player I have discovered for years as he was playing with Robben Ford, the well-known blues singer and guitar player. Roscoe is also well-known as one of the best specialist of five-string bass.

Some of the best songs of Leonard Cohen are present on the double-CD: Dance me to the end of love, Bird on the wire, Everybody knows, In my secret life, Suzanne, Hallelujah, I’m your man, Sisters of mercy.

And for me, the best song on the double-CD: If it be your will, sung by the Webb Sisters. So great. So great, I just miss the words to describe the emotional impact of their performance… Something you have to listen to once in your life…
