Book Musik 034 - "I'm Your Fan: The Songs of Leonard Cohen" by Ray Padgett

Tosh and Kimley discuss "I’m Your Fan: The Songs of Leonard Cohen"
(33 1/3) by Ray Padgett. Tribute albums are often derided and tend
to elicit a love/hate reaction. When done right, they can
illuminate a song and boost an artist’s career as did this one for
Leonard Cohen. Padgett looks into not only the specifics of this
Leonard Cohen tribute album but the history of the genre in general
and some of the key players like producer Hal Willner and frequent
contributor Juliana Hatfield. When one great artist covers another
great artist it can be sublime. Or it could make your ears bleed.
Art is always a gamble…
