This album was released at a time when Cohen was almost forgotten, about seven years before the tribute albums I'm Your Fan and Tower Of Song would spur renewed interest in his work. Warnes' interpretations are always graceful and moving. She understands Cohen's music well, having done backing vocals on some of his albums like Various Positions, and she covers his songs with loving dedication. My favorites include Aint No Cure For Love (from Cohen's I'm Your Man), Coming Back To You (from Various Positions), Came So Far For Beauty (from Recent Songs) and of course the formidable Joan Of Arc where Cohen himself sings some of the verses. Warnes' voice is the perfect vehicle for his poetic lyrics of romantic longing and despair, and my only complaint is that I would have loved to hear her interpretations of Suzanne and Sisters Of Mercy too. Another great Cohen tribute album is Democracy by Judy Collins, the very first artist who covered his songs. Other tributes of note include I'm Your Fan and Tower of Song: The Songs of Leonard Cohen by various artists and the 2006 soundtrack compilation Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man.
