Review

Rolling Stone (p.94) - "High points include Beth Orton's faithful rendition of 'Sisters of Mercy' and Antony's beautiful, quivering take on 'If It Be Your Will'..."
Entertainment Weekly (p.98) - "[The musicians] trade off on the poet's brooding, wry songbook." -- Grade: B+

Title Note

Composer: Leonard Cohen.

Recording information: 2004 - 2005.

Leonard Cohen is one of the finest singer-songwriters of the past half century, and the 2006 documentary I'M YOUR MAN pays tribute to his genius. The soundtrack to the film is a collection of live performances taken from Hal Willner's concert series "Came So Far for Beauty: An Evening of Leonard Cohen Songs." Among those involved in the events were Rufus and Martha Wainwright, the McGarrigles, Teddy Thompson, Jarvis Cocker, and Cohen's heir apparent, Nick Cave. While none of the versions can compete with Cohen's brilliantly evocative originals, the interpretations are done so lovingly and with such admiration and zest (Cave's demonically sleazy riff on "I'm Your Man" is particularly inspired), the disc works nicely as a fitting tribute to Cohen and an apt companion piece to the film.
