Congratulations... and I barely know who he is. Shame on me.

CHartres..or anyone whos interested and doesnt have any of his material, I picked up "The Essential Leonard Cohen"...a 2 disc best of compilation with songs from the 60s-2001....gorgeous melodies and haunting lyrics! I was astounded!

Flawless!

Robert Altman's "McCabe and Mrs Miller" is a beautiful film and features his songs.
Gosh, Mr Coen is same age as my old man...

Some of his best songs:

Avalanche, Famous Blue Raincoat, One of us cannot be wrong, Suzanne etc.

BUt don't listen to him when you're feeling heartbroken. It's suicide then.
