‘Hallelujah’, ‘Suzanne’, ‘Hey, That’s No Way To Say Goodbye’: just three good reasons why Leonard Cohen’s widely rated as one of the most influential singer-songwriters of all time. Six decades since he started his career, Canada’s finest has kindly supplied another ten. Old Ideas doffs its (flat) cap to a myriad of musical influences, including blues, country and gospel, and finds Cohen contemplating mortality, love and more with trademark poeticism. Sure, the septuagenarian might be a little deeper-of-voice these days, but with songs like ‘Show Me The Place’ he’s proven he’s still more than capable of breaking hearts with a couplet.
